Mark Drobny did an excellent job in preparing our will.

I give Mark Drobny of Drobny Law Offices 5 stars for doing an excellent job preparing my Will. As part of preparing my Will, he gave me bound copies of my Will, Restated Trust, Durable Powers of Attorney for Financial Management and Advance Health Care Directives. He included five (5) unbound copie...s of my Advance Health Care Directives to be given to my primary care physician and my agents and alternate agents for health care decisions. He retained the original documents in his office in a fireproof safe. He also included two (2) Advance Health Care ID Cards, on to be kept with my driver’s license, and the other in the console of my car. I also received an Estate Planning binder containing copies of my executed documents, as well as ten (10) extra copies of my Certification of Trust and five (5) extra copies of my Advance Health Care Directive. I also received instruction on acquiring new real property, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, treasury bills, stocks, bonds and other property that might be subject to probate. These are to be taken in the name of the Family Revocable Trust which Mark Drobny amended and restated in their entirety. I received ten (10) copies of the Certification of my Trust which can be used when this occurs. This Certification of my Trust can be given to people when they ask for a copy of my Trust. The Certification has the relevant information they need, and not the entire Trust document which has confidential information. I was also given information on changing the secondary/contingent beneficiary designation on any new IRA’s, pensions, annuities, etc. to the “Trust” which Mark Drobny restated. I was also given information on changing the secondary/contingent beneficiary designation on any new life insurance policies to the “Trust” which Mark Drobny restated. I was also given information on changing the secondary/contingent beneficiary designation on any new savings accounts, certificates of deposit, securities, treasury bills, etc. to the “Trust” which Mark Drobny restated. As I waited in Mark Drobny’s office, I read his commitment to helping others receive a higher education. Mark received the CSUS President’s medal for Distinguished Service in June of 2014. He formed or chaired the planned giving committees for many major Northern California charities and is one of the region’s top experts on Charitable Remainder Trusts and other Planned Giving concepts. Mark has been a member of The Sacramento Estate Planning Council since 1982, was the founding editor of their monthly newsletter, and a member of their Board of Directors for eight years. Mark has served as a Judge Pro Tem for the Sacramento Superior Court’s Probate division for over 20 years. While meeting with Mark, he did not suggest or infer that a Charitable Remainder Trust or Planned Giving is something we should do.

Estate Planning

Mr. Drobny has done the trust for my father and myself. After my father’s passing in 2017 his team team did a very efficient job settling my fathers estate. Due to the complexity of his estate I had difficult decisions to make regarding my own trust. I was totally at ease discussing these issues w...ith him and It was obvious that Mr. Droby’s years of experience was a critical asset moving forward. His yearly newsletter regarding tax law changes is an added bonus.

Jana Hollenbeck, Trustee

When a friend asked me to be the executor of her estate, already set up by Drobny Law Offices, Inc. I said yes, thinking she would live many more years. Within a few months she died, and I contacted the law office of her trust. They were most helpful in guiding me every step of the way through the pr...ocess of settling her estate.
