We assist clients with new estate planning and amendments. Plans typically include living Trusts, Wills, Powers of Attorney and Advance Health Care Directives.
We assist Successor Trustees in fulfilling their duties when called to act under a Trust. We provide guidance in following the provisions of the Trust and California law.
You set the rules and you decide who manages your assets on your behalf when you are unable to do so on your own or upon death.
Care of Minors
You pick a Guardian to care for minor children and set a plan to provide for their health, education, maintenance and support.
Beneficiaries
You decide what happens to your assets and who inherits your estate upon passing. Without a plan, the courts decide who inherits your estate.
Health
Care
You set guidelines and you pick who you want to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to act on your own.
“Rusty is an amazing attorney. I took my parents to him for a trust and he did an amazing job. So quick and efficient. I would highly recommend him so you get a trust done before something happens and you have to go through probate. He does do probate work also. I would trust him to all family members for sure."
Emily
"I want to say thank you for all of your work with my parents’ estate. I could not have handled this alone, and am very grateful that everything was done so quickly and professionally."
Vicky
"Rusty Griffith prepared my family's trust and estate. He made what could be a complicated process very smooth and easy and is a true professional. I can recommend him with full confidence to anyone in need of trust, probate or estate work."

"Rusty Griffith is the best and most knowledgeable. He completed our trust within 2 days and even drove it down to Scripps Green in La Jolla because my husband wasn't able to go to office due to terminal cancer. That is true kindness and compassion. I highly recommend this wonder man."
