Meaningful Estate Planning

While numerous financial and legal decisions must be made during the estate planning process, estate planning should not be viewed only as a set of complex questions for the client and attorney. Instead, we believe establishing your estate plan is something that is immediate, vital, and significant. After all, an esate plan is not just about conveying your property; it is about conveying your values and love and concern for your family, friends, and community. In sum, creating your estate plan is a practical, meaningful process of establishing your legacy while ensuring comfort and peace of mind for you and your family. 

Located in Palm Desert, Hesseltine Law provides personalized and comprehensive estate planning services to individuals and families in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley and recognizes and promotes principles of faith, family, and charity in estate planning. Whether you require a standard living trust with accompanying estate planning documents or would like something more specialized, our Palm Desert estate planning law firm would be pleased to serve you. Many estate planning attorneys do not have the technical expertise to offer more sophisticated beneficiary and advanced charitable planning services in their estate plans. Our firm, on the other hand, would be pleased to assist you in implementing these specialized approaches and methods.

Another important distinguishing feature for our law office is that we have designed our living trust document to allow you to easily modify the document in the future, including the ability to change or modify certain gifts for family members. As a result, most often there is no need to visit our office or pay for additional attorney services if you would like to change how a specific gift is given to your heirs. Finally, unlike many estate planning lawyers, we do not accept probate cases from former or new clients and we draft our trusts and wills with as much precision as possible to ensure that no family asset will have to be probated. 

As a law firm that focuses exclusively on estate planning, we are proud to offer a wide range of estate planning services to residents in Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, Indio and other cities in the Coachella Valley. We look forward to and are excited about assisting you with your estate plan.
