We Are Here For You

At Law Offices of Berge & Berge, we combine experience with education to create functional and effective estate plans for clients in the South Bay Area. We provide both foresight and sensitivity to your needs as you arrange support for older parents or develop your own estate plan. We prioritize flexibility — using a combination of accounting and legal tools, we can help you prepare for changes in your health, family and financial situation, as well as changes in the law.

We believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We also believe it is important to work with an estate planning attorney who truly understands the financial implications and contingencies that can affect even the best-laid plans. We work hard to ensure you receive the support you need in the planning and administration of your plans.

Keeping You Informed And In Control

Planning ahead allows you to lay out your wishes and to appoint other people to assist you if you are unable to make decisions. It also ensures the court system does not make decisions in the distribution of your assets. When you work with our team, we help you maintain control over your assets, health care, personal care and long-term care decisions.
