Attorney for Wills

Dana Longo is a fantastic Trust and Estate attorney. Excellent service, reasonable rates, and a nice guy.

Take a look at the books and software at Nolo Press, http://nolo.com. They are reputable publishers of legal self help information. If your situation is complicated, a lot of assets, and, especially, if you have a family for whom you want to provide or, conversely, don’t want to provide, then it would be wise to have the result looked over by an attorney, any of these mentioned or others who specialize in Wills/Trusts.

Recently my neighbor had gone through this procedure and he had hired an attorney from http://www.tarabay-gemayel.com/ and had a good experience with it. You can also search for attorney over here that does well as there are various lawyers available who are experts in their specialized field. You can find a reliable lawyer here that does will.

I know someone who has money, but no will, trust or health care directive. Also no family. That someone has been sucked up by the system and can't get out of it. The determination of mental incompetence is unwarranted, IMO.

I am a retired attorney and agree that the need for a will is questionable in most cases. Generally it seems related to attempts to 'get even' with or otherwise manipulate heirs and others. I don't have a will and am happy to let my estate transfer in the manner provided by the laws of the state of California. In any event I will not be around to complain and cavil about how it happens.

Victoria Cole at About Justice, 1936 De La Vina, 805-563-0853. She's wonderful and more affordable than most attorneys.

Jim Cote, small firm, personal service. 805 966-1204 Can't say enough good things

PLease, Please Please don't try to draft a will yourself. I am a retired estate and trust attorney and I can tell you many sad stories about people who have done this with devastating and expensive consequences. It's definitely worth the cost to hire a trained professional to handle this important matter, especially in California where the estate and trust laws are byzantine.

I had O'Gorman & O'Gorman, LLP draw up my trust and will. They did an excellent job. They're located in Goleta.

Stefanie Herrington did our very detailed trust. she does a great job. Also, she is wonderful for getting military veterans taken care of, the only lawyer in SB, as far as I know, who does that. She took care of a 97 year old friend and got him amazing benefits, including $1,800 a month due to anyone serving in a declared war (they don't need to have been in the fight). She got rid of a woman trying to scam him.

I totally agree with the previous: Bartlett & Herrington are experts in this are, easy to deal with and very efficient. 805-576-7693. We have been working with them for years.

Mark Aijian is excellent. I just recently had him draw up my trust. His office is at 1224 Coast Village Circle, Suite 36. (805) 963-0434

OfficeMax has a DIY Will and Estate planning documents for $34.95

Are you sure that you need an attorney for that? Attorneys are roughly $1500 to $3k. You have other options. Call me and I'll give you three other options you may want to consider. 805 680-1221
