Estate Planning & Probate Attorney in Anaheim, CA
Most visitors know Anaheim for the Disneyland Resort, Angel Stadium and the Honda Center. For the people who live here, Anaheim means a hillside house in Anaheim Hills, a condo in the Platinum Triangle or a small business near the Anaheim Packing District. The Soto Law Group helps Anaheim residents turn those homes, businesses and savings into an estate plan that holds up, and stands with families when a loved one dies and an estate or trust has to be settled.
We are located at 4041 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 200, in Newport Beach, near John Wayne Airport, so Anaheim clients can meet with us without leaving Orange County. Anaheim’s probate, trust and conservatorship cases belong to the Orange County Superior Court, and those matters are currently heard at the Costa Mesa Justice Complex on Harbor Boulevard. It is the same court where our attorneys file and appear for clients from across the county.

Why Anaheim Families Choose The Soto Law Group

- We write plans and we settle them. Our attorneys draft estate plans and also administer estates and trusts, which shows us what makes a plan work for the family that inherits it.

- Straight answers. You will know what happens next and why, explained without legal jargon, and we stay in touch until the work is finished.
Anaheim Hills Homes, Family Businesses and Shared Households
If you own a house in Anaheim Hills or anywhere else in the city, it may be the largest asset your family inherits. Holding it in a funded living trust can let your successor trustee sell or transfer it without opening a probate case. If you run a family business, whether a restaurant, a shop or a company that serves the crowds drawn to the Disneyland Resort, your plan should name who steps in to manage it and who will own it. And if your household includes children from an earlier marriage, or parents, children and grandchildren living under one roof, your documents should say who may stay in the home and who inherits it. Settling those questions now keeps your family from having to guess later.
