Google Maps places Hawthorne Hills around 37.9865° N, -122.5755° W. The area’s growth followed postwar housing expansion near San Anselmo’s downtown, with hillside lots and creek-adjacent parcels shaping property ownership concerns for residents and landlords.

Law Office of Matthew W. Harris provides wills, revocable trusts, special needs trusts, trust administration, and real property titling tailored to hillside parcels, accessory dwelling units, and intergenerational homes common along Butterfield and Sir Francis Drake corridors. We coordinate with Marin County Recorder for deed transfers and beneficiary designations aligned with local lending and insurance practices.
Climate considerations include wildfire, power shutoffs, and flood risks along San Anselmo Creek. We incorporate fire-hardening incentives, evacuation planning in healthcare directives, backup-signing procedures for PSPS events, and insurance-trust reviews. We comply with California Probate Code, Marin County recording standards, and San Anselmo notarial and remote online notarization allowances where permitted.
We also serve nearby Sleepy Hollow, Fairfax, and Ross, offering trustee guidance, homestead consultations, and multi-property planning. Eco-friendly practices include paper-light files, recycled-paper printing when required, secure e-signatures, and supporting creek restoration and defensible-space community efforts.
