Going through a divorce is hard enough. The last thing you want to think about is paperwork, especially legal documents...
We protect families & their legacies by helping them plan for the unexpected.
“I can sleep much easier now that Sotera did our Family Trust and Wills. Sotera, thank you so much for all the work put into protecting our humble estate and safe for my daughters and grandchildren. You are the best and highly recommend her services.”
(Folsom, CA)


Welcome! I want to congratulate you for making it here and taking the first step toward planning for everyone and everything you love. I cherish the opportunity to help secure what you love. I look forward to learning your story, hearing what matters to you, and helping you to discover what’s actually needed to keep your loved one’s out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you (or them). We specialize in creating wills and trusts to achieve your goals. Our planning focuses on developing a plan that protects your children, plans for your life in case you become incapacitated, and planning for when you are no longer here for your loved ones.
If you’re ready to get going, please attend one of our upcoming events (which you can read about below) or schedule a Life & Legacy Planning Session.
Undecided? That’s fine, it’s normal to be a little uneasy about estate planning. Many of our happiest clients started just where you are right now. But, when they read the best-selling book on estate planning for families, Wear Clean Underwear (I know, it’s a funny name, right?) they felt more at ease, educated and informed. It’s called Wear Clean Underwear because your mom always told you to wear clean underwear in case you were in an accident, but once you are a parent, there are important legal planning steps you need to take as well.
I would love to send you an e-copy of this book for free, as my gift to you for considering working with me. Simply click here. enter your name and email address and I’ll send you Wear Clean Underwear: A Fast, Fun, Friendly – and Essential – Guide to Planning for Busy Families
