Expert guidance on a complex family trust matter

I engaged Melissa Hung to assist with the restructuring of a family trust that had become quite complex due to out-of-state assets and multiple beneficiaries. With 17 years of experience, her knowledge of California trust law was immediately evident. She patiently explained our options, outlining the tax implications and long-term administration considerations with clarity. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Trusts and Estates gave us confidence we were in capable hands. Melissa was thorough, strategic, and genuinely cared about achieving our family's goals. The process was smooth, and the final documents were impeccably drafted. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to a couple of days, but this was a minor consideration given the overall quality of her work. I would not hesitate to recommend her for sophisticated estate planning needs in the Bay Area.
