Do you address California trust matters for Verdi clients?

This page concerns California trust administration. Describe the trust, your role, and where the property is located so the relevant scope can be discussed. Note any immediate questions.

What if some property is outside California?

Identify the location and ownership of each asset at the first conversation. Ask whether additional advice or counsel is needed for the property involved.

What should I collect before the consultation?

Bring the complete trust, amendments, available statements, property records, and correspondence. Note which decisions are urgent and which information you have not yet located.

Can you review beneficiary communication?

Share the questions, notices, and communications already exchanged. A review can help identify issues that need a response and records that should be gathered.

What if the administration has already started?

Bring a summary of actions taken, transfers, and pending questions. Existing records help counsel understand the current position and discuss the next priorities.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As grieving parents of our deceased son, we were in need of guidance with regard to what do we do next.  Our son was without a will and, we had no experience with how to proceed. Luckily, we contacted Elane at the Andrews Law Firm Truckee who immediately understood our situation and was able to provide the information we needed and the necessary legal paperwork to resolve our problem. Our problem was magnified by the fact that we live in Milwaukee and involved my son's car for which we could not find the title. Rather than have to return to Truckee after 40 days to request a new title, Elane assisted us in creating a power attorney for a friend in Truckee which negated our having to return to Truckee from Milwaukee to simply apply for a new title. We are very appreciative with the help we found at The Andres Law Firm Truckee. Thank you, Elaine!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred to Elaine Andrew's law firm through a friend and I'm very happy we went and sat down with her.   She quickly recognized a few mistakes in our previous trust and worked to correct them and ensure that our trust followed all legal requirements.  We now feel confident that we have a very solid trust for the future.
