Welcome to the website of Dennis M. Sandoval, A Professional Law Corporation, the premiere estate planning, elder law and tax law firm in the Inland Empire. This website, as well as our firm’s other websites, contain a wealth of information for consumers and financial / health care professionals.
|
| When you call our office to schedule your free initial estate planning consultation, you will be sent a package of information including directions to our office as well as two questionnaires for you to complete and bring with you to the first meeting. Having this information available for the attorney you will be meeting with will make your free consultation much more productive. The first questionnaire requests information about your family, who you would like to manage your financial affairs in the event you are able to do so, who you would like to make health care decisions for you and how you would like your estate distributed after you are gone. The second questionnaire requests information about your finances. If you would prefer to download the directions to our office and the family information and asset information questionnaires, click here. |
