Chapman Park is a hillside neighborhood in eastern Corte Madera known for walkable streets near Tamalpais Drive and close access to Highway 101 and the Corte Madera Town Center. Developed alongside early 20th‑century Marin subdivisions, it blends older cottages with newer infill and small commercial pockets serving commuters and local families.
On Google Maps, Chapman Park centers near 37.9240° N, 122.5125° W. The area’s small-tract makeup means close-knit needs: homes with mixed title histories, view-easement questions, and multi-generational planning. We tailor wills, revocable trusts, special needs trusts, and real-property transfer strategies for hillside parcels, ADUs, and TIC/condo ownership common nearby.
Nearby landmarks include Corte Madera Town Hall, Town Park, The Village at Corte Madera, Corte Madera Town Center, MarinHealth Medical Center (Greenbrae), Ring Mountain Preserve, Neil Cummins Elementary, Corte Madera Library, and the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur. Estimated population for Corte Madera is about 10,200; Chapman Park comprises a small share of this total.
Climate considerations shape plans: wildfire risk zones, evacuation routes, insurance volatility, and power shutoffs. We integrate trust funding for insurance proceeds, digital vaults for emergency access, and beneficiary designations aligned with PG&E PSPS contingencies. We comply with Marin County and Corte Madera ordinances, recording requirements, and notarial standards; we coordinate with county assessor guidance on Prop 19 parent‑child transfers.
We also serve near neighbors: Marin Estates, Madera Gardens, and Christmas Tree Hill—handling home equity transfers, blended-family planning, and tax‑efficient charitable giving. Our office reduces paper, uses recycled stock, secure e‑signing, and supports local habitat groups through pro bono clinics.
