Fiduciary services for Los Gatos families.

Los Gatos runs from long-tenured hillside estates to newer technology-sector wealth.

The two sit side by side, and the estates reflect both: real property held for decades, private-company stakes, and public-market positions, with beneficiaries who usually still live in the Bay Area but carry professional commitments that make hands-on administration impractical. The work that follows a death or a decline is less about deciding what should happen, since the documents usually say, and more about someone reliably making it happen while the family keeps living its life.

A professional fiduciary takes that on under court oversight, a bond, and a duty that runs first to the beneficiary. In Los Gatos the work is mostly coordination with people already in place: the existing counsel and accountants, rather than a new cast introduced at the worst possible time. Accounts get reconciled, a fraudulent or mistaken charge gets caught early, distributions clear the way they were meant to.

Probate matters for Los Gatos are filed with the Santa Clara County Superior Court at the Downtown Superior Court in San Jose. Los Gatos is served on a remote-coordinated basis, with in-person visits scheduled when a matter requires them.

What I can take on

Power-of-attorney work is often the right call for families who want a professional in that role rather than a relative. Care coordination runs alongside the formal roles when there is a parent whose day-to-day needs to be tracked.
