Preserving Your Wealth
And Your Legacy
You have worked hard to accumulate the assets you have. Now, ensure they
are treated according to your wishes and pass to those you love.


CREATING AN ESTATE PLAN IS AN ACT OF LOVE



It is an unfortunate fact that tens of thousands of Americans die every year
with no will or other estate planning documents in place. At my law firm — the
Barbara J. Dibble Inc. A Professional Corporation, in Fullerton — we get that:
No one wants to think about their own death. However, failing to plan ahead when
you are healthy and of sound mind can create stress and financial strain for the
loved ones you leave behind.

If you die without a will — what is known as dying intestate — California’s laws
of intestacy will determine how many of your assets are distributed. This may or
may not match your wishes. Also, if you become incapacitated and unable to make
important decisions regarding end-of-life care or financial matters, it can
cause great stress for your family members if you have not created advance
health care directives and power of attorney clarifying your wishes.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS AND ACHIEVING YOUR OBJECTIVES




Estate plans have a number of options to achieve people’s diverse objectives. We
will talk through your family and financial situation in order to match you with
the estate planning tools that accomplish your goals. I use the skills I have
honed as a former teacher to explain things clearly and answer questions
thoroughly.


ALSO HANDLING PROBATE AND TRUST ADMINISTRATION



Many of my clients discover that using trusts helps them avoid probate, saves
time and decreases the cost of estate administration. In addition to creating
and funding trusts of all types, I assist trustees with trust administration and
help individuals navigate the probate process.




CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS

“I had long been wanting to create a will and trust but had always been
intimidated by the process and therefore never did it. After my Father passed
away and I inherited money from him I knew I had to do it immediately. After
seeing an ad for Barbara’s services on the internet I gave her a call. I was
immediately impressed with the time she spent with me, the knowledge she had and
the ease with which she explained everything to me. She put all the right
documents in place, explained everything to me in a manner I could understand
and answered any questions I had. On top of that, she is just a really nice
person, who I enjoyed interacting with, thus making the entire process great. I
highly recommend Barbara and will certainly be using her for any and all future
needs I have for the services she provides.”

Paul Z.
Westminster, CA

“I was extremely fortunate to call Barbara Dibble in anticipation of acting as
Executor for my stepfather. I discovered there was a Trust, but due to some
unbelievably bad decisions on my stepfather’s part, he managed to get swindled
and then sued- and I was dragged into it. I was in totally over my head,
completely stressed out, and did not fully comprehend the situation at hand. To
make a long story short, Barbara Dibble saved the Trust, and me, through her
capable efforts and integrity. She effectively communicated with the others
involved, is a great listener with excellent attention to detail, and the one
person I felt I could trust to see me through this time. I could not have done
anything without Barbara Dibble’s steady guidance and I recommend her highly.”

Gregory 0.
Altadena, CA

“As a grieving widow faced with the challenge of settling my husband’s estate, I
am deeply grateful to Attorney Barbara Dibble. She guided me through what might
otherwise have been a difficult process involving wills, trust fund, tax issues,
and my financial future. With her help and steady professional expertise, I now
have the courage to face the future on my own.”

Marilyn D.

“When I asked my friend to recommend an attorney, she replied, ‘You must talk
with Barbara Dibble. She is wonderful!’ After my husband and I retained her to
help write a will and set up trusts, I could only enthusiastically agree with
her. Her expertise, her patience to fully explain the work she did for us to
answer all our questions, and her compassion were traits we had not seen in
previous attorneys. Since I have mobility problems, she kindly came to our house
when possible to work together, saving me a difficult trip to her office. So,
understandably, I welcome the chance to highly recommend her.”

Evelyn H.

I live outside the US. When my mother died in California in 2007, my sisters and
I were bombarded with legal papers; it was difficult to understand what our
rights and responsibilities were. Within an hour of contacting Ms. Dibble, she
pointed out that our mother’s attorney had not filed certain routine trust
papers involving her home. This threatened to delay the sale of her house by a
year or so, due to the probate process. Ms. Dibble saw to it that the proper
papers were filed. She made a difficult process both understandable and
efficient, and safeguarded our interests. In 2010, when one of my sisters became
critically ill, Ms. Dibble was able to step in quickly, efficiently and
compassionately to help her establish a will and trust. Ms. Dibble now handles
all of our legal affairs in the US.

Robbin B.

We recently completed our estate planning with Ms. Dibble. She was very
efficient and professional. In addition, she had a friendly demeanor and
encouraged us to freely ask questions which she answered clearly and accurately.
We would definitely recommend Ms. Dibble’s services and have already done so to
friends.

Jerry and Karen H.

Losing a family member can be most devastating. To add to that stress, we found
that we needed the help of an attorney, because my father’s estate needed to go
through probate. We were referred to Barbara Dibble by a family member who was
quite pleased with past services that Barbara and her staff had provided. The
first time we entered her office, we knew that we had chosen the right person.
She was not only compassionate during this difficult grieving period, she was
also patient and extremely thorough, anticipating what the Court may require
before it was even requested. Because of her dedication to our case, probate was
able to close quite a bit sooner than we expected. We are glad to say that now
Barbara is our attorney, and we will proudly refer her to our family and
friends.
