Estate planning is necessary to ensure your assets are distributed as you want and your wishes are carried out in the event of your passing or incapacitation. Estate planning is the management, preservation and the distribution of your assets, both during your life and upon your death.
Your "estate" is all of your assets of any value that you own, including real property, business interests, investments, insurance proceeds, personal property and even your personal effects.An "estate plan, " generally, refers to the way your estate is passed on to your loved ones in the event of your death.

A friend or family member's death is a difficult time. In addition to the difficult mourning process, a person's financial affairs need to be completed upon death, sometimes through a court process called probate. This can be a confusing and difficult process. A probate attorney is vital to help you through this time and simplify the process for you.
There is a lot of bad information out there when it comes to paying for nursing home care. Strategic planning to qualify for needed Medi-Cal benefits is available to preserve the family assets. We help families qualify for benefits without spending their life's savings. No one should have to decide between the care their loved one needs, and leaving that person broke.
Professional licensed businesses such as engineers, attorneys, doctors, and accountants require a specialized kind of entity. Our experienced team will evaluate the unique details related to your business to help you understand the benefits of specific types of entities. Business succession planning is a series of logistical and financial decisions about who will take over your business upon retirement, death, or disability.

My wife and I engaged Shoup Legal two months ago to put our family estate trust plan together. We signed our docs last night. Our attorney is Jennifer Dean and she did a fantastic job thru the whole process ... She did a thorough job in explaining the process, walking thru each document, and most importantly listening to our needs. The other Shoup team members that we engaged with were professional and very friendly. Overall, I would recommend Shoup Legal to anyone needing estate trust planning.

Shoup legal was very thorough in helping us with our
Living trust , will and power of attorney etc . All our legal needs to take care of our family and they will know what to do in case of our inability to make decisions for ourselves . The peace of mind that Andrea gave us and the time she took to help us understand the legal terminology was incredible . David Shoup is very knowledgeable in business contracts and how to protect yourself in business . He has helped several friends with their businesses and they have raved about him. I would say their whole organization has integrity and professionalism

My family is so grateful to have such knowledgeable experts to guide us thru the process of creating our trust. Working with them was super easy, they took a lot of time walking us thru everything and answering our questions. The peace of mind they have us is invaluable and a huge sigh of relief, especially during these very uncertain times.

I wanted to recommend this company BY GIVING A 5 STAR REVIEW.. because they really helped me.. As a single woman business owner..I didn't have a clue what would happen to my business if something happened to me.. Who would be in charge to make decisions with the business? Andrea explained to me that it was easier than I thought to set up my portfolio with my requests of who was my backup.. Now I feel at ease knowing they will take care of my last instructions..JUST IN CASE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.. EXCELLENT SERVICE..EXCELLENT CARE!

There are many attorney's office that say they can do it all. When you are putting together your family's trust and will, you definitely want to work with an office that specializes in that area of law. your family trust is the culmination of all your hard work for your entire life. There is little in this world that is more devastating than having your estate go to probate simply because it was not structured properly. That is why I always recommend Shoup Legal to my clients and friends.

I believe I found the best business attorney in the valley!
David Shoup has been working on service contracts for my business and in the middle of working on them I had a big client reach out for a proposal on a big job for my company and they needed the proposal that day! I was stressing about getting it done in time. I called my business attorney (David) and he got right on it and had it all typed up for me within a few hours and I was able to send the proposal on time and my client was happy to see a quick response for my business! Totally worth the money thanks David!!

She made the process very easy and explained everything through the entire process. She really gave me peace of mind, which I am very thankful for.

I cant say enough good things about Shoup Legal. I spent some time talking with Andrea about a trust now that I am a parent and she explained how it works to protect our family. I also have a close family friend who had a trust done by another attorney (as they live out of town) and Andrea offered to review that trust for free to see if there were any important things missed. Its so refreshing to have met an attorney that truly cares about the well being of their clients.

We found David Shoup on line searching for an living trust attorney.
We called and made an appointment with David, to help us with our living trust. We were very pleased with his presentation of a living trust that fits our situation, he took his time to explain all of the things that we needed in our trust. We have two families involved in this trust, David went over all the possibilities that may come up when two separate families are involved. We were very pleased with the way David handled our situation. We highly recommend David and all his staff at Shoup Legal.

I am new to the area and was looking for someone to take my existing (out-of-state) estate planning documents and to update them to meet California legal guidelines. I do not understand nor do I want to be… bogged down with all of the legal jargon. Andrea simplified the process by explaining every step and by answering all of my questions in a way that was easy for me to understand. Andrea put my mind at ease and I can now feel comfortable knowing that my wishes will be carried out according to the plan she created.
