Change is a part of life. Your needs change. So, too, do those of your family. Laws are constantly changing as well. At the Sydney Law Firm, our goal is to use all the legal tools available to protect you at every stage of life�s journey, and to protect your loved ones and legacy after you are gone. Our firm�s founder and principal, Jeffrey Sydney, is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law, Certified by the State Bar of California. Thanks to his experience and demonstrated knowledge of these and other practice areas, the Sydney Law Firm can preserve the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed; allow you to maintain complete control over your assets and affairs; help you remain independent for as long as possible; and preserve your dignity should you become incapacitated.

In addition, we can make sure you�ll be able to pass your assets on to whom you want, when you want, in the manner you want�while protecting your estate against probate, litigation and paying too much in taxes. We can also show you ways to minimize disputes and ill-will among your children over the estate and preserve family relationships. Protect your beneficiaries� inheritance against divorce, remarriage, lawsuits and bankruptcy. Ensure your lasting legacy, not just your financial one but also your values and work ethic, by encouraging your heirs to pursue productive lives, get an education, engage in charitable and philanthropic activities and more. In short, we strive to protect and preserve everything that matters most to you in life.

We have helped thousands of individuals and families accomplish all of these goals, or only some of them, depending on their particular situation. We welcome the opportunity to help you accomplish yours.

ESTATE PLANNING

Your Estate Plan should reflect your values and your goals for you, your heirs and your legacy. Your plan should be created by an attorney who is an Estate Planning specialist. We go well beyond �traditional� approaches, by using the most advanced legal techniques available to help you take full advantage of recent changes in the law. Even if you already have an estate plan, chances are we can make it significantly better.

The Estate Planning services we provide include:

Revocable Living Trusts
Wills
Powers of Attorney
Health Care Directives
HIPAA Authorizations
Dynasty Trusts
Irrevocable Trusts
Life Insurance Trusts
Family Limited Partnerships
Qualified Personal Residence Trusts
Gift Programs
Retirement Trusts
Minors� Trusts
Generation-Skipping Trusts

TRUST ADMINISTRATION

Losing a loved one is hard enough without the added stress of making important financial and legal decisions while in mourning. We will guide your heirs with great sensitivity, and work closely with executors, personal representatives, trustees and other fiduciaries to ensure your wishes are carried out.

PROBATE

Probate is the court-supervised administration of a decedent's estate. Unfortunately, in California there is nothing simple about it. While much of our practice is devoted to helping our clients avoid probate entirely, we can lead your family through the legal labyrinth with compassion and understanding.

ELDER LAW AND MEDI-CAL PLANNING

Elder law involves a wide range of issues, everything from Estate Planning, Asset Preservation and Conservatorships to the procurement of government benefits, housing and care-giving options. Our goal in this area of the law is to guide elderly clients and their loved ones through the legal issues and possible financial problems that come with growing older, and preserve our clients� personal and financial independence for as long as possible.
