Church & Associates, PC, we assist with all aspects of estate planning, including wills, trusts and conservatorships. Our attorneys will explain the complex plans and documents in a manner that is easy to understand.

– Wills

Creating a will is all about protecting your assets after you pass away.

Church and Associates, PC can help you develop a last will and testament that’s in compliance with California law, allowing your assets to pass freely to your heirs in a swift manner.

– Living Trusts

A living trust is a great way to preserve your assets and property to the greatest extent possible. Revocable and irrevocable are the two categories of living trusts. A trustee may end a revocable trust at any time, while irrevocable trust cannot be terminated except by court order or with the consent of the trustee, trustor and all beneficiaries.

– Durable Powers of Attorney

A durable power of attorney allows a designated person to manage your legal and financial affairs if you remain alive, but are incapacitated and unable to make decisions for yourself. At James B. Church & Associates, we can help you can develop a solid yet flexible durable power of attorney agreement that puts your estate into the hands of someone you trust.

Church and Associates, PC may assist you in contesting wills and trusts on a number of grounds, including capacity, mental disorder, undue influence and failure in duties.
