Estate Planning

California Estate Planning Attorney

At our firm, the Law Offices of John A. Guthrie, our practice areas focus on individuals and their families. Our experienced attorneys know that planning for the future can help families achieve common goals. In working together to meet their shared purposes, they grow closer. To a large degree, families who plan together, stay together. If you have a family business or need a trust, will, or healthcare power of attorney, talk to us about your family estate plan.

  • Wills · Trusts · Living Wills Powers of Attorney

When you have questions about wills and trusts, we have answers.

Everybody needs a will. In addition, divorcing spouses need to update any wills, trusts, living wills, and powers of attorney to reflect their current family status.

  • If you have recently been divorced and your lawyer didn't do estate planning, don't wait to contact a California estate planning attorney at our firm to discuss updating your will.
  • If you have recently remarried, you need to change your will or trust documents. We can help.
  • If you are considering remarriage, let us help you with a prenuptial (ante-nuptial) agreement that protects your separate assets and your children's inheritance.
  • If you don't have a will yet or haven't updated it because you think it costs too much, you will be surprised to learn that not having a current estate plan could end up costing you and your family much more than our cost effective legal services.
