Dunning Law Group provides consultation and preparation of Estate Planning documents.

Estate Planning is the process of creating a legal legacy that allows for the present management and swift transfer of family assets from one generation to the next at the lowest possible cost. Even a modest estate consisting of a home and retirement account in the Bay Area can result in significant fees in probate court, and long delays in order to change title to property held by the deceased. A properly structured estate plan avoids these excessive costs and delays by using living trusts or re-titling property. A variety of trusts or holding structures can also be used to minimize taxes on larger estates, and minimize exposure to aggressive creditors.

A typical family plan will include a Trust, Pour-Over Will, Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Needs and a Living Will or Healthcare Directive. The Dunning Law Group charges competitive flat rate fees for this complete package depending on the complexity of the Trusts involved; some estates require more advanced planning, including Special Needs Trusts, Family Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, S Corporation Formation, Life Insurance Trusts, Medi-Cal Planning and Charitable Planning.

People don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan. The attorneys of Dunning Law Group can protect a family's future by preparing the proper business and estate plan in advance.
