Estate Planning
Bartlett & Herrington drafts custom estate plans that protect your beneficiaries without probate proceedings, which can involve years of legal proceedings, frustration, and expenses at a difficult time. We consider the type and size of your assets, tax consequences, and other special circumstances to protect your wishes. Our comprehensive estate plans include health care directives and powers of attorney to protect you in the event of incapacity. We also prepare the deeds of all real property you wish to transfer into a trust. Our law firm represents clients in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria, Ventura, Ojai, Thousand Oaks, and Simi Valley.
