The estimated population is about 1,200 residents, with tree-lined streets, older bungalows, and easy access to Sir Francis Drake Blvd for local businesses and commuters.
Nearby landmarks include Memorial Park, Sorich Park, Red Hill Shopping Center, San Anselmo Town Hall, San Anselmo Library, MarinHealth Medical Center (nearby in Greenbrae), Marin Art & Garden Center, Creek Park, and the Marin Museum of Bicycling. The neighborhood grew alongside San Anselmo’s early rail and commercial corridors, now reflected in its compact lots and walkable blocks.
Law Office of Matthew W. Harris tailors estate planning to Morningside’s needs: trusts for homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface, special needs planning for multigenerational households, and business succession plans for local retailers along Sir Francis Drake and Red Hill. We coordinate with Marin County Recorder requirements, San Anselmo notary logistics, and title companies serving the Ross Valley.
Climate considerations include wildfire, power shutoffs, and flood exposure along creeks. We build disaster clauses into powers of attorney, store digital copies securely, and structure trust funding for expedited insurance and temporary housing access. We comply with California Probate Code, Marin County recording standards, and San Anselmo municipal procedures for notarization and witnessing.
We also serve nearby neighborhoods: Fairfax (downtown merchants and artists), Kentfield (complex real property and titling), and Ross (intergenerational wealth and charitable trusts). Our office uses recycled paper options, e-signing where permitted, and secure virtual consults to cut trips, supporting local sustainability efforts.
