Protect What Matters. Plan with Purpose.
No matter your age or stage of life, having a clear estate plan is one of the most important things you can do to protect your family, your wishes, and everything you’ve worked hard to build. At The Pacella Law Group, we help you create personalized, legally sound plans that ensure your assets are handled the way you intend—and your loved ones are taken care of when they need it most.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating an existing plan, we’re here to make the process simple, strategic, and centered around your goals.
What Is an Estate, Really?
Your “estate” includes everything you own: real estate, financial accounts, vehicles, personal items, retirement funds, and even things like collectibles or electronics. When you add it all up, the total value often surprises people—and without a plan in place, state law may decide who gets what. Our job is to make sure your wishes—not the court’s—guide the outcome.
What We Help With
We provide thoughtful estate planning solutions tailored to your specific needs, including:
- Wills
- Revocable Living Trusts
- Powers of Attorney (Financial & Medical)
- Advance Healthcare Directives
- Medi-Cal Planning
- Minimizing Estate Taxes
- Avoiding Probate
- Trust Amendments & Beneficiary Updates
We’ll guide you through each step to make sure your documents are accurate, up to date, and fully aligned with California law.
Wills & Trusts: Know Your Options
No two families are alike—so no estate plan should be either. We’ll walk you through the difference between wills and trusts, explain what each option means for your family, and help you decide what’s best based on your personal goals and asset profile.
We also assist with amendments and updates to existing documents—because life changes, and your plan should too.
Powers of Attorney & Medical Planning
Who will speak for you if you become incapacitated? A Power of Attorney (POA) for financial matters and a Healthcare Directive for medical decisions allow you to name someone you trust to act on your behalf. We’ll help you create these documents and make sure they’re legally binding, clearly written, and ready when needed.
Medi-Cal Planning
Long-term care is expensive—but with proper planning, you or a loved one may be able to qualify for Medi-Cal benefits without draining your savings. We assist with pre-planning and eligibility strategies that preserve your assets while making long-term care more affordable.
