Estate Planning Attorney for San Diego, California

Vinh Doan Law Office, APC helps San Diego County families protect their homes and savings with living trusts, wills, powers of attorney and health care directives. We work with clients in San Diego by Zoom and phone, in English and Vietnamese, and prepare the same documents we prepare for families in Orange County.

Estate planning for San Diego families

San Diego families often own a home that has grown sharply in value, and many have a spouse or adult children living in different cities or states. Military families may also have ties to several states. A living trust, a pour-over will, a financial power of attorney and a health care directive let someone you trust manage your affairs if you cannot, and keep your home out of probate when you die. If a loved one needs the plan explained in Vietnamese, we do that.

Points worth knowing in San Diego

• Probate for San Diego County residents is handled by the San Diego County Superior Court. A trust that holds your property keeps it out of that process.
• If your children live out of state, a trust names a successor trustee who can act without a court appointing someone.
• California has no state estate tax. We still plan for the federal rules and for property tax effects of passing a home to your children.

What we prepare

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