Law Office of Matthew W. Harris provides wills, living trusts, special needs planning, advance health care directives, durable powers of attorney, trust funding, and probate guidance tailored to Contra Costa Centre’s condo/HOA properties, multi-state commuters, and BART-adjacent renters transitioning to homeownership. We coordinate beneficiary designations and TOD/POD accounts with local banks and employer retirement plans common to downtown Walnut Creek and Bishop Ranch workers.
We address climate considerations—wildfire smoke, heat waves, PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs—by building emergency provisions into estate plans, remote notarization options when allowed, and digital vaults for secure access during outages. We comply with California Probate Code, Contra Costa County filing practices, local recorder’s office requirements for deeds, and notary standards.
We also serve nearby neighborhoods: Walnut Creek (Saranap), Pleasant Hill (Poets Corner), and Concord (Monument Corridor), offering mobile signings and evening consults to fit commute schedules. Our office uses recycled paper, secure e-signing, and partners with local green groups to reduce waste.
