“From our first meeting, Dustin made what can feel like an overwhelming process very manageable. Estate planning is not something most people deal with often, and there are a lot of moving parts. He took the time to explain how a revocable living trust works, how it helps avoid probate, and why proper funding of the trust is just as important as drafting the documents themselves. He walked us through trustee selection, successor trustees, distributions, and how to think through allocations in a way that protects both assets and relationships. He also helped us think carefully about medical directives, powers of attorney, and incapacity planning. These are not easy conversations, but Dustin approached them with clarity and professionalism. He made sure we understood not just what we were signing, but why it mattered and how it would function in real life. One thing we appreciated most was his practical insight. He offered guidance on how to structure the trust in a way that supports our family long term, including considerations for future changes, potential tax implications, and how to avoid common mistakes that can create confusion later. He answered questions patiently and never rushed the discussion. The process was organized, timely, and efficient. We always knew the next step and felt confident that everything was being handled properly. By the end, we had a fully executed and funded trust, updated directives, and clear instructions for our trustees. More than anything, we now have peace of mind. We know our affairs are in order and that our family will be taken care of now and well into the future. We are grateful for Dustin’s guidance and would confidently recommend California Probate and Trust, PC to anyone looking for thoughtful and trustworthy estate planning support.”

“Hiring Matthew Roy was one of the best decisions I made during the most painful chapter of my life. My divorce was emotionally exhausting and overwhelming and my ex did everything he could to complicate the process. As a mother of two small children, everything was incredibly high stakes. Matthew made me feel protected, heard, and supported every step of the way. He took the time to truly understand my situation and made sure I knew my rights and options. Instead of feeling powerless or confused, I felt informed and confident in the decisions we made together. Matthew always kept the focus on what was best for me and my kids, and I truly believe that made all the difference in the outcome. What amazed me most was how efficiently everything was handled. Compared to friends who went through long, drawn-out divorces, my case was resolved in a much shorter amount of time and at a significantly lower cost, without sacrificing fairness or results. That alone relieved an enormous amount of stress during an already difficult time. Matthew combines deep legal knowledge with genuine compassion. He cares about his clients as people, not just cases.
