Estate Planning Attorney for Sacramento, California

Vinh Doan Law Office, APC works with Sacramento area families by Zoom and phone to prepare living trusts, wills, powers of attorney and health care directives, and to help after a death with probate and trust administration. Our attorney is licensed in California and speaks English and Vietnamese.

Estate planning for Sacramento homeowners and families

Sacramento County families often own a home, retirement savings from public or private employment, and sometimes rental property. Without a trust, property in your own name generally goes through California probate, which is public and can take a year or more. A living trust and a pour-over will keep your plan private and let a successor trustee act quickly. The Sacramento area also has a sizable Vietnamese-speaking community, and we explain each document in Vietnamese if you prefer. We also help families who already have a trust that has never been funded, which is a common problem.

Points worth knowing in Sacramento

• Probate for Sacramento County residents is handled by the Sacramento County Superior Court. A funded trust keeps the property out of that process.
• Signing a trust does not move your house into it. The deed has to be changed to the trust, and we prepare that deed for you.
• Public pensions and retirement accounts pass by beneficiary designation, so we review those forms with you.

What we prepare

Living trusts and wills, financial powers of attorney, health care directives, and help with probate and trust administration.
