Just Health and Family is dedicated to providing quality estate planning services coupled with excellent customer service. In order to make my services affordable and accessible, I offer estate planning packages and home visits.

Estate Planning Packages

Estate planning does not have to be time consuming or expensive. For most of my clients, putting together an estate plan will only require a couple of hours of their time and my packages are offered at affordable rates.

All of our packages include a:

  • will
  • advance health care directive (living will + power of attorney over health care),
  • durable power of attorney over finances, &
  • an option to add a living trust (second price)
  • a home visit (free)

Basic Pack ($450/$950)

The Basics Pack includes the documents listed above.  The Basics Pack without a living trust is great for young singles.  Adding a living trust  is a good choice for clients who have accumulated assets in excess of $100,000.

Couples Pack ($650/$1050)

The Couples Pack includes two of each of the documents listed and is for any type of couple (married, domestic partners, or otherwise involved) who shares assets or estate planning goals.

Parents Pack ($750 or $1350)

A Parents Pack incorporates guardianship agreements into your estate plan. Many lawyers only include a guardianship clause in a will, but in California there are actually four distinct legal tools available to help you plan for the care of your children. At Just Health and Family, we your children are fully protected.   If you have any questions, you can read more at http://www.justhealthandfamily.com/guardianship-agreements.html or give me a call at 1-800-691-6319.

I also provide a wide range of additional legal services.  Learn more at www.justhealthandfamily.com

Case History

AIDS Legal Referal Panel Clients

Practice Area: Estate Planning

Description: These cases focus on the intersection of legal issues and disease. I attend trainings with ALRP for recent updates and changes to laws that effect estate planning and domestic partnerships.

Outcome: Wills, trusts, and advanced health care directives tailored to the needs of clients with limited resources.

Elder Law Clients

Practice Area: Estate Planning

Description: Many of my clients are either elderly, ill, or disabled. In these situations, traveling to a an office is burdensome and may compromise their health. Because of the fragile nature of these cases, I starting making arrangements for home visits. I often meet with a friend or trusted family member first in a public location. Once they get to know me, we arrange for a day to meet the client in a place they are comfortable.

Outcome: My clients are able to put wills, trusts, and living wills into effect without having to leave their home.
