Law Office of Matthew W. Harris provides estate planning tailored to waterfront and hillside properties: revocable trusts for homes in Paradise Cay and Chapman Hill, coordinated titling for dock and slip interests, transfer-on-death strategies for brokerage accounts, and wildfire/flood-informed insurance and incapacity planning. We prepare Marin County–compliant notarizations, record deeds with the Marin County Recorder, and address property tax reassessment rules under Proposition 19.
Climate considerations include sea-level rise and king-tide exposure along marsh edges, and wildfire/wind on Ring Mountain slopes. We integrate emergency directives, digital asset plans, and trustee instructions for evacuation and proof-of-loss. We also serve nearby neighborhoods—Larkspur, Greenbrae, and Tiburon—handling multi-jurisdiction titling and beneficiary designations across counties.
Our office reduces paper with secure e-signing when permitted, uses recycled paper for required originals, and supports local habitat groups through volunteer clinics. Contact Law Office of Matthew W. Harris for estate planning in Paradise Drive Area.
