Overview

At the law firm of Fullerton, Lemann, Schaefer & Dominick, LLP, we offer estate planning solutions to people in San Bernardino, California, and throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties. From assisting with wills and trusts to probate and estate administration, our attorneys have developed deep knowledge and understanding of this area of law through decades of experience.

Guardianship and conservatorship

When family members become unable to make decisions regarding their health care and financial matters, they may need someone to protect them from abuse. Advance health care directives and powers of attorney allow people to designate ahead of time who will take care of affairs on their behalf. If no plan is in place, the courts may name a guardian or conservator. Our law firm assists people in naming or becoming the caretaker that is needed.

Estate planning

Creating an estate plan may involve wills and trusts, and there are many ways to customize these to address unique family circumstances. For example, a special needs trust allows a person with disabilities to continue to receive government assistance while providing for other necessities. A spendthrift trust may prevent an irresponsible beneficiary from squandering an inheritance. At our law firm, we help clients identify the tools that are right for their situation.

Probate and estate administration

After a death, the estate administrator or executor must carry out many duties, some with considerable fiduciary responsibilities. We assist with this process, and we also help family members when disputes arise over the contents and provisions of a will or trust.

We offer free initial consultations, and clients may choose virtual appointments or meet with us at one of our four convenient locations. Fullerton, Lemann, Schaefer & Dominick, LLP, accepts credit cards.
