Law Office of Matthew W. Harris builds plans around local realities: trust structures for homes in unincorporated pockets near Point San Pedro Road, powers of attorney mindful of MarinHealth access, and beneficiary designations coordinated with marina slips, boats, and small home-based businesses.
Climate considerations include sea-level rise, king tides, FEMA flood zones AE and VE along bayside edges, and wildfire exposure in adjacent open space. We address insurance reviews, trust funding for mitigation upgrades, and digital directives for emergency readiness. We comply with California Probate Code, Marin County recorder requirements, and San Rafael zoning and notary rules.
We also serve nearby Montecito/Happy Valley, Dominican/Black Canyon, and Loch Lomond—handling mixed-use property, legacy homes, and marina-related assets. Our eco-practices include paper-light workflows, recycled-content paper when printing is required, client e-sign, and support for local habitat groups near Gallinas Creek.
