A note from Chona

We have rights. Let's protect them.

I have seen too many of my kababayan lose what belongs to them not because they did anything wrong, but because no one helped them with the right documents.

I am here for you. I will be honest. I will keep things simple. And I will make sure you understand every paper before you sign it.

Ang iyong mga karapatan ay mahalaga. Ipaglaban natin sila.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a will or trust?

If you own property, have savings, or want your wishes to be clear yes. We can talk about your specific situation for free.

Kung may ari-arian ka o ipon oo, kailangan mo. Tawagan kami nang libre para malaman natin.

Is document preparation the same as legal advice?

No. We fill out your forms and explain what they mean. We do not give legal advice. If you need a lawyer, we will tell you and help you find one.

Hindi. Tinutulungan ka naming sagutan ang mga form. Kung kailangan mo ng abogado, sasabihin namin sa iyo.

Can my adult children come to appointments?

Yes. We encourage family to come so everyone understands the documents together.

Oo. Mas mabuti kung kasama ang pamilya para maintindihan ng lahat.

How long do most services take?
