Services
Complete estate planning for Bay Area families.
From a simple will to a living trust, Govind Gopal prepares the documents you select, at your specific direction.
What We Offer
Trust documents prepared at your direction.
Living Trust
A revocable living trust lets you manage your assets during your lifetime and name who receives them. Assets properly transferred into the trust generally pass without a California probate case, which can take 12–18 months. We prepare trust documents at your specific direction.
Whether probate applies depends on how assets are titled, their value, and the date of death.

Will Drafting
A California will can name who receives your assets, nominate guardians for minor children, and name an executor. We prepare will documents at your specific direction.
Without a will, California law decides who raises your children and inherits your assets.

Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney names someone you choose to handle financial matters for you, including if you become incapacitated, which may reduce the need for a court-appointed conservatorship. We prepare the document at your specific direction.
Without a POA, your family may need to ask a court to appoint someone to manage your finances.

Advance Health Care Directive
An advance health care directive (living will) specifies your medical treatment preferences and names a healthcare agent to make decisions if you can't speak for yourself.
Hospitals cannot follow your wishes if they're not documented.

NRI Estate Planning
For NRI and Indian-American families, we prepare California estate planning documents for US assets at your specific direction, in English, Hindi, or Tamil. Questions about Indian property, Indian succession law, FEMA, or taxes should go to qualified Indian and US attorneys and tax professionals.
Assets in India are generally governed by Indian law — a California document may not cover them.
