Income Tax

Our firm prepares current and delinquent individual, business, estate and trust tax returns. Business returns include sole-proprietorships, Corporations (C-Corporation and S-Corporation), Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies. We provide representation before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for all clients in which our firm has prepared the tax return.

Estate Planning

Our firm assists our clients with their estate planning needs. We provide consulting to our clients to determine the best plan on how their assets will be preserved, managed and distributed after death. Our estate plans include Pour-Over Wills, Trusts, Financial Power of Attorney, Health Care Directives and transfer documents.

Estate Administration

We assist our clients with the orderly administration of a decedent’s estate. This includes guiding our clients through the complexity of collection, distribution and legal transfer of estate assets. We provide guidance on tax ramification of transfers including compliance with California Proposition 58 (Parent-Child Exclusion) issues.

Probate Administration

If an individual failed to properly plan for their estate and their estate is valued over $150,000 probate administration may be needed. Our firm can assist in filing a formal probate action with the Court and provide legal representation to the Petitioner (Executor/Personal Representative). If the estate is valued under $150,000, we can provide legal services that can minimize the need for a formal probate action.
