Estate Planning Attorney Alejandra Rodriguez
Estate Planning
Planning For Everyone You Love And Everything You Have
Do You Really Know?
Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt what would happen legally and financially to you, your loved ones, your money and everything else you care about if something unexpected happened to you?
If you have an estate plan and it is out of date, your assets could be lost to the state department of unclaimed property or to an unnecessary and public court process.
If you do not have an estate plan, then your state has a plan for you, and it's probably not what you want.
Here’s the bottom line: If you have someone or something that you want to protect, then the first step is to find out exactly what would happen legally and financially so that you can decide if the current state of your affairs is okay with you.

We’re here to help.
Our firm provides experienced, compassionate probate services to ease your burden. We’ll guide you through each step, handle the legal complexities, and make sure everything is done properly, so you can focus on what matters most.
Trust Adminsitration
Support and Clarity for Trust Administration
