Michael Alfred Broad

My 89 yr old mom arrived from Hawaii last month. She was noticeably weaker and more forgetful. When she fell backwards and hit the back of her head, we both knew she needed an estate plan to get her affairs in order. I contacted Mike who had worked with me on the sale of my house in Oakland 10 years ...ago and asked for recommendation for an estate planning attorney. Mike told me he had opened his estate planning practice. I now live in Roseville. Mike agreed to meet me and my mom half way between my house and his office in Oakland. He spent several hours with us, explaining all the options and choices that my mom could make. My mom was very hesitant about giving any one of her children a power of attorney over her finances. Mike explained the options, their strengths and weaknesses, and created a plan that my mom felt comfortable with. After this first meeting, we had a second meeting, again, Mike meeting us halfway, to discuss the final documents. My mother is happy and we are much more at ease knowing that my mom's property, her health care decisions and what to do about her finances if she ever becomes disabled, is taken care of. Also, his rates are very reasonable.

I was looking for an Estate Probate lawyer when I was fortunate to find Michael Broad on the Internet. Mike was thorough, professional, personable and patient with me and my siblings during a very difficult process that took a year to complete through the court. He was very informative when explain...ing the Probate process, court, documents required and my responsibilities as the Administrator. He was very helpful during the process of selling my mother's home by working closely with the Realtor and me. He was always available to answer questions from me, my siblings and anyone else involved in this process. Michael was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of an Estate Probate lawyer.

I had an extremely challenging probate that took close to three years to complete. I had to fly back in forth several times from Tennessee, to Oakland, CA. Mike was absolutely wonderful during the entire process. We worked together as a team to tackle one difficult problem after another. If you need ...anything done related to a probate/estate, I would highly recommend that you call Michael Broad right away.

I had a probate issue which Michael resolved professionally and efficiently. Met with him once in person and a few times over the phone re getting needed paperwork. Because of covid, courts were backed up so had to wait for a court date. When we finally got before the judge, Michael presented the ca...se and the matter was resolved. done...and DONE!

I hired Michael Broad to represent my interests in submitting a Heggstad Petition to the Court. Specifically, the title to my property was in my deceased wife's name and needed to be placed in my Trust. Mr Broad successfully obtained the Court's approval to transfer the title without going throug...h Probate. He provided excellent advice, prepared the necessary documents and demonstrated a broad understanding of the entire process. I highly recommend him
