Your Trusted Estate Planning Attorneys

At Shoup Legal, our attorneys have over 25 years combined experience in estate planning and business law. We are members of the California Bar specializing in estate administration and all related legal documentation. Let us guide you through drafting estate planning documents and the rest of the legal process.

Estate planning is an important process that everyone should undertake to make sure their assets and loved ones are protected after they pass away. A comprehensive estate plan accounts for your assets, healthcare decisions, and the distribution of your estate in the event of your incapacity or death. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney is key to ensuring your wishes are properly documented and executed. It’s vital that your wishes are carried out, your beneficiaries are protected, guardians are appointed for minor children, healthcare proxies are designated, taxes are minimized, and probate and family disputes are avoided.

How We’re Protecting Families

Shoup Legal specializes in Estate Planning, Trust Administration, and Probate services.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is about more than just deciding who inherits your property – it’s about making sure your assets, healthcare decisions, and intentions for your loved ones are all clearly defined and executed in the event of your incapacity or death. It’s essential to ensure your wishes are carried out, minimize taxes, and avoid family disputes.

Trust Administration

Whether you have been named successor trustee because someone became incapacitated or has passed away or named power of attorney, we know that this can be a difficult time. Even small estates require assistance to transfer assets, obtain life insurance proceeds, file beneficiary claims, and obtain the benefits you are entitled to receive.

Probate

Probate is the legal process that takes place after someone passes away, involving the distribution of their assets and settlement of debts. We understand probate laws and can guide you effectively through the entire process according to California probate code whether the estate is straightforward or complex with multiple assets, debts or beneficiaries.
