At the Law Office of Chris C. Clauson, nestled in Carlsbad, California, we turn the art of estate planning into a seamless and personalized journey. We primarily focus on crafting robust trusts alongside comprehensive services in estate planning and wills, designed to navigate the complexities of California's probate laws with finesse. Our mission is to safeguard your legacy and ensure your intentions are realized with precision and care.

We offer a holistic approach to estate management, focusing on proactive strategies to circumvent the public and costly California probate court for estates exceeding $150,000 or those with only a will. Our skillfully drafted living trusts not only ensure your estate passes to your chosen beneficiaries but also secure capital gains tax advantages through a 'stepped-up basis.' For families with special needs, our tailored special needs trusts protect against the potential loss of government benefits upon inheritance.

Our comprehensive estate planning tools, including durable powers of attorney and advanced health care directives, ensure that both your health and financial affairs are in trusted hands should you be unable to manage them. We are committed to shielding your assets and preserving your peace of mind. Our strategies extend to protecting your estate from personal liability by appropriately titling income-generating properties and ensuring that your real estate assets have a clear chain of title.

Our living trust package is thoughtfully designed to include a certification of trust, which streamlines the process of asset titling and provides essential proof of your trust’s existence to third parties and financial institutions without compromising your privacy. Guided by a team of seasoned attorneys celebrated for their empathetic and thorough approach, our office is a beacon of trust and excellence in the legal community. We are proud to hold esteemed affiliations and have been recognized with numerous awards that speak to our commitment and proficiency in estate planning.
