Custom Wills, Living Trusts, and Incapacity Protections

An effective estate structure protects you during life while providing clear guidance for your family after you pass away. As a certified Personal Family Lawyer®, attorney Meghan McNulty guides families through a detailed wealth inventory before drafting a single document. The practice designs comprehensive estate packages featuring revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, durable power of attorney designations, and advance healthcare directives. These essential legal tools avoid lengthy California probate proceedings, prevent conservatorship court petitions during sudden medical incapacity, and nominate permanent guardians for minor children under specialized kids protection planning guidelines.

Integrated Business Law and Generational Succession Planning

For business owners and corporate founders, personal estate plans must align seamlessly with corporate operating agreements and buy-sell arrangements. Without a coordinated strategy, an unexpected disability or sudden death can freeze company operations and force grieving heirs into unwanted management disputes. Meghan McNulty Law assists privately held business owners with business formation, entity structuring, key-person transition policies, and tax-efficient transfer strategies. When entrepreneurs hire an attorney with extensive experience in corporate transitions, they protect business continuity, maintain enterprise valuation, and transfer leadership on clear, pre-negotiated terms.

Comprehensive Practice Areas in Estate and Corporate Law

The practice delivers focused, high-touch legal representation across core areas of California law, including:

• Revocable living trusts: Structuring private trusts that manage real estate holdings, brokerage accounts, and intellectual property while eliminating statutory probate fees.
• Wills and guardianship nominations: Drafting testamentary wills that detail specific inheritances and designate trusted guardians to raise minor dependents.
• Business formation and contract counsel: Advising startups and established enterprises on operating agreements, partnership pacts, and commercial contract negotiations.
