Estate planning not only manages the distribution plan of your assets after you have passed away, but also provides directions about management of your assets and your health while you are still alive. For those, who have minor children, estate planning is very important as the care of your minor children can either be in the hands of the government or you.
If your loved one had a living trust, then you will likely only have to go through trust administration, as long as your loved one's assets were titled in the living trust. If your loved one had a will or nothing at all, you will likely have to go through the probate process. There are some instances, in which you may not need to go through probate.

Wow. Unbelievable that I now have to downgrade my previous rating down to a 1 star. Please read my review if you plan on hiring this law firm to carry out any of your legal business.

After I thought everything was taken care of (extremely poorly), I received a letter in the mail from the recorder's office stating that they did not receive the signed reassessment exclusion form (form that allows exclusion of reassessment when a property passed down from parents to child). If the form and copies of all required documents are not received within a month, my inherited house would automatically

Lisa helped my brother out when he unexpectedly got sick and needed a power of attorney. She is caring, knowledgeable and professional. She wrote up the paperwork so we could take care of his medical and financial needs. I would encourage everyone to get there documents in order before something bad happen.

Lisa is a competent and caring estate attorney. I look forward to working with her in the future. She is non-judgemental and specializes in, amongst other things, blended families and complex family structures. In today's world, particularly in this area, this is necessary and fantastic.

She has a passion for estate law and as you get to know her you will find that her heart is in the right place. Lisa is down to earth and easy to talk to also!

Met with Lisa today and was really happy about her scope of practice especially towards blended family planning and other complicated family planning needs in today's environment. Since we have clients that need this type of planning, I am glad to have finally found someone who can provide this service. In addition, Lisa's down to earth personality makes me feel comfortable to refer her my clients. Looking forward to working with her!

We have been extremely happy with the help from Lisa and her team.
People don't realize how much of a headache it is and the costs of not having an estate plan. Tandoc Law do great job of educating their clients and saving them much money and time. And they are very comprehensive and great attention to details.

I was referred to her by a friend. I attended her seminar and I knew I had to get this trust done. The benefits spoke to me loud and clear. Lisa was nice and thorough. She ask me questions and brought up ways to create a living trust fit for me. When creating a trust, it really needs to be done right and tailored to you because everyone's situation is very different. I'm very thankful to Lisa and my friend who referred her to me.

Lisa Tandoc did my trusts which was way overdue!
I can't say enough about Lisa Tandoc and how wonderful she was.
One of the most professional, ethical, honest and kind attorneys that I have had the pleasure to retain. She is hardworking, prompt, returns calls and emails quickly. She treats her clients as though they were the only ones she was serving at that time.
Needing an attorney for any situation can be very stressful. She was so kind and friendly to me and eased all of my anxieties. Lisa is very patient and explained everything to me in detail. I am rating her 5 stars. Can&apos

Reached out twice: via phone call and e-mail from her website. Never received a response from the e-mail query. On the phone I was told that she would be unavailable until about mid-August (it was early July when I called) and that she would return my call in late August. It's already September. Maybe she has too much business than she can handle now.

UPDATE:

We did eventually go with Lisa. She got back to us and apologized for the missed return call. She made changes in the way her business kept track of communications, and so far in my subsequent follow-ups I have received timely

I highly recommend Lisa Tandoc of Tandoc Law Corp if you need help with Estate Planning.

I had previously worked with a different firm and had documents drawn. Though I wasn't completely happy with the documents, I had nothing to compare them to. I felt like my wishes were force-fit onto their template, and required someone to interpret my wishes to my Trustee. When I had enough changes to warrant revision I met with Lisa and decided to have a restatement done, even though it would have been cheaper to revise with the prior firm.

I have a relatively complex beneficiary structure and

I highly recommend Atty. Lisa Tandoc of Tandoc Law Corp., an Estate Planning Law firm in Burlingame, California. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, efficient, and pleasant to work with. Lisa helped me put up my Living Trust, Will, and Advanced Directives and was finalized and recorded in December 2014. She is a good listener and did exactly what I wanted written in my estate plan. I made some last minute changes and she graciously made the corrections. I also learned that you do not have to be rich to make your estate plan ~ your will, living trust, and advance directive. Everyone should have one

If u want a family estate planning lawyer u can't ask for anyone more patient, punctual, caring, organized and professional than Lisa. Appointments were made in a timely manner always accommodating our hectic schedule. She never made us wait and she never made us feel rushed as we had no knowledge of what to do or what to expect during this process of preparing a living trust/advanced directive for healthcare. After preparing the documents she patiently explained every page in non-lawyer English so that we were able to understand what we were signing. Her assistant was very efficient also

Attorney Tandoc prepared my Living Trust, Will and Advanced Directives in a very timely manner. It was done in a week's time and I am sure if there was more of an urgency, it would have been completed even sooner. She is professional and a true expert in her field. She is friendly and takes the time to simplify thoroughly, all of the legal jargon on the documents that one may not understand from A-Z. Her rates are very competitive. She is willing to be flexible with her schedule in order to accommodate clients and their families. The end product (completed documents) are neatly presented and

Lisa is great. If you need a patient, diligent trust attorney who is looking out for your best interests, she is the person to go it. She is easy to communicate with and answered many questions from my husband and me - in person, over the phone and via email.

I found out about Tandoc Law during a networking event about 4 years ago. Lisa seemed very approachable and professional. When I was in need of a power of attorney document and an advanced health care directive, I knew Lisa would be a great choice as an attorney. She handled my circumstance with a caring and insightful attitude by getting my family through the paperwork and even volunteered her time on a weekend when we were all available at the same time. Lisa is definitely passionate about her work and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional lawyer.

I went to see Lisa to prepare 3 separate trusts for my family. Lisa was very professional as well as personable. She had in depth understanding of my questions and offered answers I could understand and relate to. I also appreciated that all of our appointments were on time as well as any written communication was exchanged in the timely manner.And the price was very reasonable! At the end it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Tandoc Law Corp services!

I had a consultation with Lisa about estate planning and employment laws. She was very helpful and informative. She made sure I understood everything before moving forward and she also addressed all concerns.

I used to be wary of lawyers, but now, I can say I know two compassionate lawyers who aren't trying to swindle you.

Although it's a young firm, Tandoc & Wehr are great lawyers who are affordable and really care about other people.

I'd recommend them to anyone.
