The number one mistake people make is not planning soon enough. Once catastrophe strikes it can be too late.

At Sakamoto & Ruelas, APC, we can help you ensure that your family, home and other assets are protected should the unexpected happen.
Here are some general answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions we receive from our clients. Keep in mind, each situation is unique so the answer here may not apply to your unique circumstances. People often confuse a Will and a Trust because they can be very similar. After all, they both describe who you want to handle your affairs and how to distribute your assets when you pass away.
Sakamoto and Ruelas is what I liked the most and the way the Attorney explained everything and answered our questions so we can understand it better. You don't need to improve as the firm has met our expectations. The service's from Sakomoto & Ruelas were professional, thorough complete and affordable.
Many people feel that they can wait until they become seriously ill, old or infirm to decide on how to divide their assets, set up a trust or legally decide whom to leave the house. In fact, people feel they have plenty of time to craft a last will and testament or create a trust for their children.
Being named as executor is usually a once in a lifetime experience that comes during a very difficult time: the passing of your loved one. Acting as executor allows you to ensure that your loved one's wishes are carried out as your loved one intended. It is also a serious and sometimes complicated task that is not without risk.

This was our first time working with Sophia (she was referred to us by another attorney). She conducted herself with the utmost in professionalism, courtesy and knowledge. Our family trust was done smoothly and expeditiously and I would highly recommend her for future legal matters.

Sophia, my husband & I are so grateful to you & Wendy for helping us to prepare our family trust. We enjoyed our signing session with you and deeply appreciate your extensive knowledge, organization, attention to details, your well-written wording to reflect our intentions, and for being gracious, humble and so pleasant to work with. It is the deep love for our children that we wanted to have a trust in place. Thank you for assisting us to protect our family in this way!

My wife and I just finalized our trust and other estate planning documents. We chose Sophia Kim Sakamoto because of her experience and expertise in estate planning. From our initial meeting and throughout the entire process, we have been very pleased with her professionalism and her ability to explain complex issues in an easy to understand manner. The estate planning documents are very professional and very well done. She tailored the documents for our specific needs and situation. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and detailed. She has been kind, welcoming, and patient with our questions.
