Unique Experience as a Practicing Probate Attorney and CPA
As a Certified Public Accountant with over 20 years experience I am uniquely qualified to tackle the often perplexing and seemingly endless forms, files, and deadlines that accompany the effective management and closing of an estate. I earned my Master’s degree in taxation with an emphasis in estate and gift taxation. During my years in practice as a CPA I regularly prepared Form 706 Estate tax returns as well as Form 709 Gift tax returns.

While pursuing my law degree, I concentrated on such courses as California Community Property, Trusts and Estates, and Property law, which compliments my professional background and enables me to provide a variety of services under one roof. This makes it convenient for clients that may seek answers for questions occurring at all phases of the estate administration process.
