Advising and guiding clients since 2011
We guide our clients through the creation and implementation of comprehensive wills and trusts so that you can provide for your treasured people, pets, and charities with confidence and ease.
Our Mission
Whether you need to create your own will and trust, or execute someone else’s trust or probate estate, we simplify the process and guide you step by step to provide for the people, pets, and charities most important to you.
We listen, educate, and provide solutions to create comprehensive results, thorough, high-quality estate documents that meet your personal and financial needs and goals, and true peace of mind.
We focus primarily on full service estate planning, along with LGBTQIA protections, pet planning, and probate & trust administration services. Get more details below.
We make it easy and straightforward to work with a lawyer.
Through our work, we can reduce and even eliminate the intimidation, overwhelm, confusion, and fear often associated with wills and trusts, and even lawyers. It is no accident that our legal system provokes these feelings, and we are working to change that. Access to legal advice is essential, and only truly exists when we remove those barriers as well as more visible ones.
Women-owned and operated
Marisa Nelson earned her JD at the University of San Francisco School of Law and has been serving clients since 2011.
As a team, we are committed to listening, learning, and acting every day to eliminate systemic racism. We continue to fight for marriage equality and equal rights and treatment for LGBTQIA+ human beings in every aspect of society.
We don’t believe that being “professional” means being impersonal. We keep it real, and serve our clients and our team members with warmth and compassion.
“Marisa helped me at a very difficult time after my husband died, sorting through an outdated trust and helping me put together a new one. She was helpful, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable, and kept me from having to endure probate! I cannot thank her enough, and she checks in yearly to make sure I am up to date on everything!”
