Creating a Joint Revocable Living Trust

Vijay conducted an initial review with us to determine our interests and needs with regard to estate planning, and in subsequent visits walked us through options ranging from a simple will to a living trust, with all of the additional features that are typically considered, such as powers of attorney.... He answered our innumerable questions in a clear, understandable manner and maintained a full awareness of our specific family needs and desires throughout multiple visits. He prepared all the necessary documentation in a very reasonable time frame, reviewed everything with us in detail, and provided final signed documents in fully indexed and compete portfolio. Throughout this process, Vijay demonstrated thorough knowledge, experience, advice in considering available options, and an excellent ability to understand and relate to our specific needs and interests. We are very gratified that we chose such a skillful legal professional.

Beyond just a will

Working with Vijay was great. He was able to help us understand the basics about estate planning/our will and what limitations we had with the current model. He and his team were professional, quick to respond and flexible with scheduling. We look forward to using them again in the future for any tru...sts, etc.

Excellent Estate Planning

Vijay has for many years handled our estate planning. From its inception through changes in life situations and laws and regulations Vijay has always done a first rate job of keeping us informed about our options along with insightful recommendations about courses of action. I have spent more than f...orty years in high levels of sophisticated finance both practice and theory and I have found Gosalia and Ortiz to always be spot on in their analysis and advice. I highly recommend Gosalia and Ortiz for estate and tax planning.
