What is Trust Brasil?
We are a boutique California law firm focused exclusively on estate planning and trust administration. We serve clients of all nationalities — our bilingual and bicultural fluency makes our work stronger. It is a differentiator, not the defining purpose of our practice.
Our services include counsel, document preparation, and administration for estate planning matters under California law: trusts, wills, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney.
Whether you are establishing your first trust, updating an existing plan, or administering a trust after a loss — we offer individualized legal counsel across California, with the depth of two legal systems behind every conversation.
Our practice is built on intentional depth — in how we work, in our vision, and in our commitment to every family we serve.
Wills and Trusts
Legal counsel, planning, and administration for estate and succession matters in California. We serve clients in English and Portuguese.
Learn the Benefits
Clients of all nationalities are welcome. Our services are grounded in American law, and all legal documents are prepared in English.
We offer personalized estate planning — assessed across multiple scenarios and, when requested, explained in your native language. Our role is to apply the legal tools available under California and federal law to inform and protect each client's estate planning and asset preservation needs.
Estate planning — with the goal of avoiding or minimizing court costs after death — is available to everyone, regardless of age, immigration status in California, or the size and value of your assets. Because the most meaningful asset in this work is life itself, and what it means for the people who remain.
Contact us to connect for a complimentary initial call (up to 30 minutes),* during which you can briefly describe your family composition, assets, and interest in our services — and we will outline the path forward for your estate planning, document preparation, and/or trust administration.
Some aspects of estate planning cannot — and should not — wait. Use the scheduling button and let's talk.
*Rescheduling is subject to the full consultation fee ($365) unless the new date and time are approved in advance by the attorney. This fee may be credited toward your selected service package.

A Personal Note
The path to estate planning began when my family grew. Planning for the people I love — preparing for the expected and the unexpected — became not just a personal priority, but a professional one.
As I went through that process, the Brazilian community came to mind. Most Brazilians living in California have little awareness of or access to estate planning. That realization became a mission. And this practice became its fulfillment.
