Hello, I'm Nicole Warmerdam, Founding Attorney & Owner, and for more than 20 years, I've helped individuals and families make estate planning simpler and less overwhelming. Today, I serve clients throughout California through my fully virtual law practice, providing personalized guidance for estate planning, trust administration, and probate.

​As a California Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law and a Super Lawyers honoree, I help individuals, couples, and families across California gain clarity, confidence, and peace of mind during life's transitions.

​

I help clients with living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, probate administration, and trust administration, providing practical legal guidance tailored to each client's goals and circumstances.

​

Serving clients statewide, I provide virtual estate planning services, allowing Californians to meet with an experienced estate planning attorney from the comfort of their homes. I work with every client from consultation through completion, providing personalized guidance, clear communication, and a customized estate plan designed to protect their family and legacy.

​

Before founding my firm in 2019, I practiced with respected estate planning firms in Northern and Southern California, where I handled both straightforward and complex estate planning, trust administration, and probate matters.

 

I am also a frequent speaker and educator, presenting on estate planning and trust administration to community organizations, professional groups, and attorneys, while creating educational articles, blogs, and videos that help Californians better understand the estate planning process.

​

I founded my practice with a simple mission: to make high-quality California estate planning more accessible through personalized legal guidance, transparent pricing, and meeting from the comfort of your home or office (through a virtual planning room). I've tailored the process from A to Z to make planning streamlined and stress free. 

​​

Outside the office, I enjoy traveling, antiquing, and spending time with my husband and four cats.
