Founded in 2008 by managing partner Brian Chew, the firm has guided thousands of California families through living trusts, asset protection, and estate administration. Whether you need to hire an estate planning attorney to establish a protective trust structure or seek to consult a probate lawyer regarding an existing estate, this team provides the foresight necessary to protect your wishes.

Revocable Living Trusts: Avoiding California Probate and Protecting Privacy

In California, estates passing through statutory probate face prolonged court delays, public disclosure of records, and substantial statutory fees. Establishing a revocable living trust allows your assets to transfer directly to beneficiaries without court intervention. Attorney Brian Chew drafts detailed trust agreements tailored to each family dynamic, placing heavy emphasis on trust funding so real property deeds, accounts, and investments are appropriately titled. Clients searching for a trust lawyer benefit from customized distribution terms that protect young adult beneficiaries and preserve family harmony.

Comprehensive Wills, Healthcare Directives, and Powers of Attorney

A complete estate plan extends beyond asset distribution; it prepares your family for unexpected incapacity. OC Wills and Trust Attorneys crafts pour-over wills that designate legal guardians for minor children and capture overlooked property. The practice also prepares durable financial powers of attorney, empowering a trusted representative to manage household finances if you become incapacitated. Through advance healthcare directives, clients designate medical proxies and outline care preferences, removing difficult guesswork during emergencies.

High-Net-Worth Wealth Preservation and Special Needs Planning

For families with significant real estate portfolios, corporate enterprises, or vulnerable family members, sophisticated estate planning vehicles are essential. The firm creates irrevocable dynasty trusts, special needs trusts to preserve government benefits for disabled dependents, and business succession structures that ensure seamless commercial operations. By advising on California property tax rules under Proposition 19 and federal estate tax exemptions, the practice helps clients minimize tax burdens while protecting generational wealth.
