Getting Started
Our Process
Each plan is customized to your situation and that of your family. Assessing your needs is the critical foundation for all that we do.
1. Call us at 714-738-3400
Our assessment starts with a short telephone discussion with you.
2. Make an appointment
Based on that conversation, we usually offer a no-charge first office consultation.
3. Gather your documents
For a quick start, we suggest you gather some information before your first office visit. Try to bring:
-
existing trusts,
-
wills,
-
powers of attorney,
-
health care directives,
-
deeds
-
financial records
Also, be prepared to discuss your personal goals and your family’s particular needs. Your goals are more than numbers. Clients find great comfort in making a plan that includes personal and/or spiritual values and instructions
For the quickest start, bring a completed Estate Planning Worksheet to your first office visit. The worksheet is a way of organizing and presenting the information we need to design your personalized plan. In fact, if you have ANY questions or difficulties in completing the worksheet, we will be glad to assist you by phone.
