Tustin
Estate Planning Attorneys serving Tustin residents
Welcome to Mortensen & Reinheimer, PC, a premier Estate Planning law firm serving Tustin, California. We advise clients on matters of probate administration and implementing wills and trusts, by providing each of our clients with the information and resources they need to protect their earnings and take care of their loved ones.
Probate Administration
Probate is a legal process administered through California probate courts that oversees the validity of a will and the distribution of an individual’s estate upon death. The probate process can be long and complicated, extending and compounding the pain of a difficult time. If a family member who owns property in Orange County has recently died, our experienced probate attorneys are qualified to handle the legal matters of probate on your behalf, giving you time to focus on taking care of your family during its time of loss.
Revocable Living Trusts
Often seen as a preferable alternative to a simple will, a revocable living trust allows you to avoid probate of your estate upon death. Ownership of your property is transferred to an individual of your choosing, or trustee, so that all of your assets are “owned” by the trust, thereby eliminating court involvement. As the creator and first trustee of the trust, you maintain full control of the property and assets in trust while alive and capable; you can revoke or change it at any time, as often as you wish. If set up properly, a living trust can also help your heirs avoid inheritance taxes and eliminate court involvement, in the event you become incapacitated and unable to manage your finances.
The knowledgeable estate planning attorneys of Mortensen & Reinheimer, PC will work with you to devise and implement a plan that is effectively suited to you, your family, your finances, your desires and your dreams. Our basic estate plan includes:
- Revocable Living Trust
- Pour-over Will
- Power of Attorney for Financial Matters

- Certificate of Trust
- Community/Separate Property Agreement (If Married)
- Real property deed to fund your trust
