What We Offer
Avoid probate. Pass assets directly.
Living Trust
A revocable living trust lets you control your assets during your lifetime and transfer them to your heirs without going through California's 12–18 month probate process. Essential for anyone who owns real estate in California.
California homes over $184,500 automatically trigger probate without a trust.

Will Drafting
A California-compliant will ensures your assets go to the people you choose, names guardians for your minor children, and gives you control over what happens when you're no longer here.
Without a will, California law decides who raises your children and inherits your assets.

Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney ensures someone you choose can manage your finances and make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated — preventing court-appointed conservatorship.
Without a POA, a court — not your family — chooses who manages your finances.

Advance Healthcare Directive
An advance healthcare directive (living will) specifies your medical treatment preferences and names a healthcare agent to make decisions if you can't speak for yourself.
Hospitals cannot follow your wishes if they're not documented.

NRI Estate Planning
NRI families face unique challenges: assets in two countries, OCI status, FEMA regulations, and families split across continents. Govind specializes in estate plans that work across borders.
Without cross-border planning, NRI assets may face dual probate in two countries.
