Estate planning is for everyone, no matter how large or small your estate may be. Careful estate planning ensures that your beneficiaries receive what you intended them to receive. It alleviates undue stress on your family. It provides for your children, specifying who their legal guardian will be and how funds will be provided for their care and use. It minimizes estate taxes and probate fees.
For more than ten years, estate planning attorney John R. Blakely has provided dedicated sound legal guidance. As a former corporate manager, he has the financial and tax experience to create an estate plan that effectively addresses your situation.

Our firm offers assistance in all aspects of estate planning to clients in the San Bernardino County area. We understand that your most important goal in estate planning is to secure a financial future for yourself and your family.
We can work with you to create trusts, guardianships and wills. In addition, we can help you establish various healthcare and financial directives.
Wills and Trusts
By having a will or trust in place upon your passing, your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Your children will receive their inheritance exactly as you specify. You can choose the person that will care for your children. Though you may not be able to avoid it entirely, you can minimize the time-consuming and costly probate process.
We help young families to older adults create wills and trusts that meet their objectives. We also encourage our clients to modify their plans as life circumstances change.
Living Wills and Healthcare Directives
A sudden incapacity may leave you unable to make decisions about life-sustaining medical support. Establishing a living will or healthcare directive can make your choices known. We can assist you in appointing a personal representative to carryout your wishes, should a future need arise.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney designates a trusted friend or family member to make medical and financial decisions, on your behalf, at a time when you cannot speak for yourself.
As your legal council, we can help you establish a power of attorney and assist in its administration as necessary.
