Thoughtful, customized estate planning solutions that give California families clarity, control, and peace of mind.
Estate planning encompasses far more than a will. A complete plan prepares for the management and transfer of your assets during incapacity or after death, reduces exposure to taxes, and avoids the probate process whenever possible. Probate in California—overseen by one of the most complex probate codes in the country—can take years to complete and may consume a notable portion of an estate through fees and court costs.
California law requires anyone creating a will or trust to have the mental capacity to understand what they own and who their beneficiaries are. This requirement becomes especially important as the state’s aging population faces rising rates of memory-related illnesses. Establishing a clear plan early eliminates uncertainty later.
Consider, for example, a Bay Area professional whose compensation includes significant stock options. If their estate grows beyond upcoming federal estate tax exemptions, strategic planning becomes essential to minimize tax exposure. Instruments such as irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs), grantor trusts, or charitable planning structures can help preserve wealth and direct more of it to chosen beneficiaries.
For families in the Greater Sacramento region—particularly in areas like El Dorado Hills where agricultural and mixed-use lands are common—planning often includes safeguarding property tax advantages. Integrating rules under Proposition 13 or parent-child transfer exemptions can ensure that a family property retains its low tax basis instead of triggering a reassessment.

Andrei is by far the best attorney for estate planning in town! My situation was a bit complicated; I had to create multiple LLCs along with a holding company, had additional existing S-Corp, and needed to create a living trust. He was not only able to help me create the best estate plan, but he also created a great structure for me to build my company moving forward.
He is very honest.
If there is a subject he is unfamiliar with, he will seek co-counselors who are experts in that field to help you achieve your goals. I absolutely will recommend him.
Andrei’s service was truly stellar. We are so grateful that we connected with Andrei, because he made what felt like a daunting process simple, was extremely understanding throughout and very patient with us. He was very meticulous with all details, and explained everything so clearly while answering all our questions. He always followed up in a timely manner and was always punctual for our Zoom meeting. Andrei is super responsive and patient to explain all the steps issues to be aware for setting a trust. Me and my husband are grateful for his service and hereby recommend Andrei Jingan without reservation!!!
I highly recommend his Estate Planning services. He is knowledgeable, professional, and a truly dedicated California Estate Planning attorney with high integrity.
I used Law Office of Andrei Jingan a few times already. Our first interaction was when I needed a professional advice for a complicated family matter. Andrei explained me the options and the possible outcomes in each situation, so I could make an informed decision. The Estate Planning process was painless and consisted in an initial case evaluation, design meeting, pre-signing review and the final documents’ notarization. I didn’t feel rushed when talking with Andrei, and he took the time to listen to my concerns, and thereafter created a comprehensive set of Estate Planning documents (including, but not limited to a Living Trust, Powers of Attorney, a Living Will, and a Pour-Over Will, etc.) that fitted our family needs. We are happy with the results.
We were very happy to work recently with Andrei Jingan on our estate planning. He is real professional in this area and he worked with us with a lot patience, with a lot explanations, and with very positive attitude.
Thank you very much Andrei for your great job! All the best to you, your family, and business!
