What We Handle

Comprehensive estate
planning services

Every engagement is led directly by a licensed attorney. No paralegal hand-offs. No template drafting. Your plan is built for your life.

01
Revocable Living Trusts

Avoid probate, maintain privacy, and ensure seamless asset transfer on your terms — with your family protected by name.

02
Wills & Pour-Over Wills

A last will working in concert with your trust — capturing assets outside its reach, honoring your final intentions.

03
Powers of Attorney

Durable financial and healthcare directives ensuring your decisions are respected when you cannot make them yourself.

04
Healthcare Directives

Documented medical preferences and end-of-life instructions that protect your wishes and relieve burden from those you love.

05
Business Succession Planning

Integrating your business interests, equity, and partners into your estate plan — protecting what you've built at the operational level.

06
Trust Administration

Guiding trustees through their obligations with precision and clarity when administration of a trust becomes necessary.

Why Apricity

A different kind
of counsel.

01
Dual CA & NV Licensure

For Tahoe-area clients with assets, property, or family across state lines — one firm, both states, no referrals.

02
Boutique Attention

You speak directly with your attorney from consultation through signing. No hand-offs. No paralegal drafting your future.

03
Business & Real Estate Depth

We account for the complete picture — your Tahoe holdings, STR portfolio, commercial assets, and business interests.

04
Rooted in the Sierra Nevada

We understand the unique complexity of mountain-area property, multi-state exposure, and the Tahoe region's legal landscape.

How It Works

Simple. Thoughtful.
Thorough.

Four steps from first conversation to a complete, executed estate plan — designed around your life, not our workflow.

01
Discovery Call

A confidential conversation about your family, assets, and intentions. No forms, no pressure.

02
Plan Design

We design a customized plan for your circumstances. Every provision considered. Nothing from a template.

03
Review & Refine

We walk through every document together and refine until the plan reflects your wishes precisely.

04
Sign & Secure

Proper execution, notarization, and asset funding guidance — so your plan works when needed most.
