With her, we don't need to worry.

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.

Wholeheartedly recommend Law Office of Vidhya Babu

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!

Outstanding attorney - recommend to all

Estate planning wasn't something we wanted to do but we felt we had to do it. We were overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. Vidhya Babu was amazing to work with. She listened to our high-level thoughts and then laid out a preliminary plan encompassing both our estate and advanced health care ne...eds. Vidhya clearly laid out the pros and cons of each option along with her recommendations. At the end of the process, we were confident in our plans and felt that we had been well guided by an attorney who truly cares about her clients wellbeing. Our initial estate plan was written over a decade ago. Through the years, as the laws have changed, Vidhya has regularly reached out to update us on new options are and the benefits of those options. I would recommend Vidhya Babu as an estate planning attorney to anyone, anywhere. Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Excellent all around

Vidhya has my highest recommendation! I have had the pleasure of working with her as a client in two separate matters. The first was when I was appointed the executor of a friend’s estate and she steered the matter through the probate process with ease. In addition to being warm and kind, Vidhya an...swered all of my questions, explained the process, and let me know well in advance what documents and information she needed from me for court filings. I was so impressed with my experience that I went to Vidhya a second time, this time for my own estate planning. I myself am a lawyer and am regularly asked for the name of an excellent trust and estate lawyer and I always recommend Vidhya!

Vidhya is quite simply the best!

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.
