A family member has passed, and now you’re the trustee. It’s a responsibility most people feel unprepared for — because trust administration involves far more legal work than most people realize. Doing it right matters, both for honoring your loved one’s wishes and for protecting yourself as trustee.

At Absolute Trust Counsel, California estate law is the only thing we do. Trust administration is one of our specialties, and we’re here to help you move through this process with clarity, care, and confidence.

How to Get Started

We offer a limited number of Trust Administration Roadmapping sessions each month — in-depth consultations priced at $750. The process begins with a complimentary 20-minute introductory call to help us both determine whether moving forward together is the right fit.

During your introductory call, we will:

1. Gather information about the trust and discuss your specific situation.
2. Answer your questions about our process and what to expect.
3. Determine whether our Trust Administration Roadmapping session is the right fit for your needs.
4. If appropriate, guide you through scheduling and purchasing your Roadmapping session.

Please note: No legal advice will be provided during the introductory call. This is a focused conversation to learn about your situation and ensure our Roadmapping session is the right next step for you. Roadmapping sessions are offered on a limited basis and scheduling is subject to availability

“I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for the exceptional service Kirsten has given my family. Kirsten Howe, Attorney at Law, has been a blessing for our family in numerous ways. In late 2006 we suddenly lost my beloved father. The complicated dealings of settling my parent’s estate combined with managing the small businesses that he owned were daunting and overwhelming. We were referred to Kirsten during this difficult time and could not have asked for a better legal representative. She was emotionally supportive and took the time to educate our family throughout the process of setting up trust accounts, updating wills, gifting of assets, the dissolution of companies, and establishing new businesses. Her organizational skills are excellent and she worked quickly and efficiently. Kirsten’s business is executed with the utmost professionalism yet she provides a customer service that feels comfortable and welcoming. Kirsten has become our family attorney and friend and I would again like to thank her for all she has done.”
