About Law Office of Janet L. Brewer

A Palo Alto estate tax attorney helping well off Bay Area families and foreign nationals create practical, tax-saving estate plans. Offering advanced degrees, certifications; 22 years' experience; and an exceptional ability to listen.

We create practical, tax-saving estate plans for individuals and families with assets worth $3.5 million or more. Some plans can get complex -- involving trusts, limited partnerships and other business arrangements -- and relatively few attorneys have all the training and experience to ensure it's done right.

That's what our clients are paying for:

* Advanced training (Board Certified as a Specialist in Estate Planning and Probate Law; Masters of Laws in Taxation; MBA; JD) and

* Decades of experience (exclusive focus on California estate, gift-planning, and probate law since 1991).

Our clients know that if their estate plan is poorly designed, nobody will know until it's too late. There are no do-overs. When a plan doesn't work, loved ones have to cope with the mess.

Work with the Palo Alto who has earned a rare 10.0 (out of 10) Avvo Rating for "Superb Experience, Industry Recognition, and Professional Conduct"; was one of Northern California's Super Lawyers in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010; and who the California State Bar Board of Governors invited to serve on the Executive Committee of the Solo and Small Firms Section of the State Bar.

Whether you need help preparing wills and revocable living trusts, administering estates and trusts, probating estates, forming family limited partnerships and limited liability companies, or establishing a wide variety of tax-sensitive trusts - including children's trusts, charitable trusts, and irrevocable life insurance trusts -- the Law Office of Janet Brewer can help. We also prepare estate tax returns for decedents whose estates have more than $3,500,000 of assets.
