Founder Michael A. Dietz is also a licensed California real estate professional. If selling an estate or inherited home becomes the right choice, he can assist with preparation, market strategy, and the sale through a separate real estate engagement.

A trusted resource for your clients
The practical work,
thoughtfully coordinated.
For attorneys and fiduciaries, estate administration often brings property needs beyond the legal work. We provide a local point of coordination for the client, with written authority, defined limits, and organized communication.
