Biography
I'm Marina Modlin, a California estate planning attorney. I help people finish the plan they've been putting off — usually in about three weeks. My firm, Modlin Legal, focuses exclusively on estate planning and trust administration: new wills and trusts, updating existing plans, trust administration, and probate. No questionnaires — I gather everything through conversation. Flat fees, quoted upfront. Free 15-minute consultation. Native Russian speaker.
