Vidhya Babu

We don't know much about the Estate Law in CA. We moved here from Michigan. We eager to establish a new Trust since we are very, very old! We used the Copilot and this site to search for our lawyer. Luckily with all those information, we pick Vidhya. We found she is very efficient, direct, ...friendly and professional. Within a short time, we had our Trust done.

Vidhya Babu was recommended by a friend. At the time, my mother was diagnosed with ALS and did not have an updated will nor did she have a trust. After hearing the horror stories of how probate works my mother was agreeable to meeting with Vidhya. I am so grateful she did! Talk about not knowing ...what you don’t know! Vidhya was instrumental in getting all necessary documents up to date - advanced directive, durable power of attorney, release for protected health information, will and trust. My biggest concern was having the house put into the trust so we wouldn’t have to go through probate and I wouldn’t be kicked out of the house in a short amount of time. Both mom and I asked many questions, many times. I was completely new to all of this and mom can be very demanding and pointed in her questions. Vidhya took the time to answer all of our questions in a way we could understand, never once being exasperated. In fact, Vidhya was very caring and genuinely concerned that we understood what she was explaining to us, she has the patience of a saint! Going through this process isn’t easy and Vidhya was there every step of the way guiding us. When mom passed, Vidhya pretty much held my hand and guided me step by step on what I needed to do to follow mom’s trust. She took care of the title change which was huge for me. It was stressful enough during this time and I’m so grateful for Vidhya’s help. In short order, I had Vidhya prepare my will, trust and other documents. Whew - so happy to have that done so my kids don’t have to stress about this. What a relief. As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too early to get these documents in order. You just don’t know what life might throw at you. What a gift to your loved ones to have everything spelled out and your wishes known. I would also like to give a big shout out to Vidhya’s Paralegal, Elizabeth! Always on top of everything and also very helpful! I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Vidhya Babu for your estate planning and trust administration needs. I will say it again, it is never too early to get these documents in order!

 After carefully researching many estate planning attorneys I was fortunate to find the Law Office of Vidhya Babu. I was impressed with the thoroughness of Vidhya’s website which addressed many of my concerns and the positive and respectful experience and ease of our communications. Additionally, ...I was grateful that Vidhya was available via Zoom by which we were able to conduct all our business to my satisfaction. I took all the time I needed, and Vidhya patiently and professionally addressed all my questions. Since I had spent many months researching, I was relieved that Vidhya was able to simplify and implement the process of restatement of my trust to comply with current law, and ultimately that would allow my document to remain current in changing circumstances. I am confident that my current trust will be able to effectively meet any situation due to these enhancements.

No one enjoys making end-of-life plans. My husband, Mike, and I delayed our estate planning for years. Fifteen years ago, we had a false start with a cut-rate lawyer. One session with this utterly incompetent attorney drove us into the caring and ultra-competent arms of Vidhya Babu. What makes Vid...hya so perfect for her profession? She actually enjoys what she does. This means she is motivated to keep abreast of estate law, which she is then able to explain in clear English to her clients. And she doesn’t roll her eyes when you ask her to repeat! And sometimes repeat again! Vidhya has infinite patience. After our first meeting in 2010, Vidhya would only occasionally nudge us to ensure we were making progress. She understood our procrastination. Vidhya listens. We always felt she understood our requirements and was supportive as we struggled with our decision making. Thanks to Vidhya, Mike and I have wills, durable powers of attorney, advanced health directives, and a revocable trust which was created in 2010. We updated these documents in 2016, and then earlier this year, we did a complete rethink and rewrite. Mike and I whole-heartedly recommend Vidhya as a consummate professional who will guide you as painlessly as possible through your estate planning.

Vidhya Babu has handled my estate issues for 14 years. She expertly guided me through probate and set up a trust following my husband’s untimely death in 2010. Recently, she updated my trust, will, and advanced care directive after the passing of my adult son. Vidhya Babu is an expert who is also ver...y efficient and compassionate. It is my great fortune to know her and retain her as my legal expert.
