Less than 2% of all California lawyers are certified as specialists in estate planning, probate, wills and Trust law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. Janet has been certified as a specialist since 1995.

Your estate plan specifies the ultimate disposition of all of your property, including your home, your investments, your business, your life insurance, your employee benefits (such as a 401K plan), and all of your other property in the event of your disability or death.

A thorough estate plan also includes explicit instructions regarding your medical care. If you were ever unable to direct your own medical care (for example, if you were in a coma), a representative you selected in advance would do that for you, in accordance with your stated instructions.
