A living trust allows your heirs to settle your estate without the expense and delay of probate court proceedings and supervision. In California, estates in excess of $150,000 are subject to probate. Most importantly, a living trust allows you to determine who will receive your estate and whether the inheritance will be held in trust or distributed outright to your beneficiaries.

Atty. Timothy Gavin is a very honest attorney. He did the probate on the property my husband inherited. This happen several years ago but I just doing the review now. He is honest , fair and listen to both parties. He tells upfront on possible things to expect. He helps all the way to the end including recommendation on inheretance tax. Thank you Atty. Gavin for your help.

My experience of Attorney Tim Gavin has been nothing but unprofessional and exasperating. He is insenstive toward the loss of loved ones and will simply tell you to "Go work with someone else" when trying to get his help. He does NOT honor the death of the person he was paid to serve. This is WRONG, absolutely immoral and deserves to be heard publicly. A formal complaint is being drafted with the CA State Bar. Thanks for the help Tim.

This man should earn a black star. He is calling my Realtors and my Attys. in attempt to intimidate and discourage their representing me and causing a huge delay in the transaction of the selling of my home. He is attempting to cut into my inheritance for a client who was written out of my mother's will. By stopping the peaple from doing their job. I dont know what he is telling my Attys but they have not approached the case the same aftet he repeatedly called them. This should be reviewed by bar Assoc or Atty general.

Attorney Tim Gavin helped me set up a trust for my assets and was easy to work with, responsive, and insightful. None of us like to think too deeply about the "hereafter," but "hereafter," I recommend if you're looking for a trust attorney in Fremont, CA, consult with Tim. Then go live your life, and please live long and prosper. Like insurance, you want a good, solid, trust that you never actually need to use (until you do).
