Law Office of Matthew W. Harris provides estate planning tailored to Ignacio homeowners, small landlords, and contractors—revocable trusts for Marin property, transfer-on-death strategies for local bank accounts, and special needs planning aligned with Marin public benefit programs and Kaiser/Novato Community Hospital care networks.
We consider microclimate issues—wildfire smoke, PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs, and flood‑adjacent parcels near Arroyo San Jose—by adding emergency fiduciary provisions, digital access clauses, and backup trustee protocols. We follow Novato municipal codes, Marin probate court procedures, and California notarial standards; mobile notarization is available in Ignacio.
We also serve adjacent neighborhoods: Hamilton Field (veteran households, historic district properties), Indian Valley (rural parcels, equestrian assets), and San Marin (dual‑income families, college‑bound planning). Our office uses recycled paper, secure e‑signatures, and low‑impact client meetings, supporting local creek cleanups and Open Space stewardship.
