Anodos Law: Services Overview

Streamlined Estate Services for California Families

How can estate planning, auditing, and settlement be made easier and more affordable?

Estate planning and administration are often associated with high costs, time-consuming processes, and a need for extensive legal guidance. Recognizing these challenges, Anodos Law offers a suite of services tailored to simplify estate planning, auditing, and settlement for California families with estates valued between $1 million and $10 million. Anodos Law’s primary goal is to create efficient, reliable, and affordable solutions in a field where timely assistance can make a significant difference.

One of Anodos Law’s key offerings, EstateDocs, addresses the need for efficient document drafting. Unlike many firms where document turnaround can take weeks, Anodos Law completes estate plans within 72 hours after the intake meeting. This quick delivery does not come at the expense of quality or accessibility. In fact, Anodos Law’s pricing is notably competitive, typically offering estate planning services at about half the cost of similar services in California. EstateDocs is designed for families with non-taxable estates who want a straightforward and affordable solution for passing assets along to heirs without the complexity or high fees of more extensive tax planning.

As family situations evolve over time, trust documents often go unreviewed, which can lead to complications. To address this, Anodos Law offers EstateAudit, a service that provides a comprehensive review of existing estate plans. EstateAudit is ideal for families who want to ensure that older trusts and estate documents are still effective and aligned with their current goals. This service includes a thorough review of asset alignment, trustee designations, and the overall clarity of the estate documents. By identifying potential issues early, families can rest assured that their estate plan will function smoothly when needed.

Finally, when the time comes to administer an estate, families often lack the time or expertise required to handle the demanding settlement process. Anodos Law’s EstateSettlement service steps in to support successor trustees with the numerous tasks involved. EstateSettlement is tailored to clients who, while willing to fulfill their role, may lack the time or capacity to manage the intensive administrative responsibilities alone. The Anodos Law team provides a structured approach to settlement, aiming to complete the process within six months, allowing families to focus on healing rather than paperwork.

Anodos Law provides three services to our clients — EstateDocs, EstateAudit, and EstateSettlement — each designed to provide efficient, affordable, and comprehensive estate planning and settlement solutions to families of net worth between $1.0m and $10.0m.
