Life is unpredictable, and serious or unexpected circumstances can arise at any time. While it is natural to hope for the best, thoughtful planning helps reduce uncertainty and stress for you and your loved ones. Having a clear plan in place allows important decisions to be made on your terms and can ease the burden on family members when difficult situations arise.

At the Law Offices of Roshni T. Desai, we provide careful, thorough, and compassionate legal representation in a broad range of estate planning and related matters. Our services include estate planning, elder law, wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, probate administration, business succession planning, and small business matters. We also handle real estate issues connected to probate and estate administration, offering clients a streamlined approach under one roof.

Because Ms. Desai is licensed as both an attorney and a real estate professional, clients can often save money by working with one professional for both legal and real estate needs. This dual role can reduce duplication of costs, minimize delays, and simplify communication during probate and estate-related property transactions.
