Bel Aire is a hillside neighborhood in Tiburon, CA, overlooking Richardson Bay with quick access to US-101 via Tiburon Blvd. Centered near 37.8989° N, 122.4946° W (Google Maps), Bel Aire combines cul-de-sacs, mid-century homes, and Bel Aire Plaza retail. Estimated population: about 1,200 residents.

Law Office of Matthew W. Harris tailors estate plans to Bel Aire’s needs: revocable trusts for high-value Marin County homes, property tax planning around Prop 19 transfers, and coordinated beneficiary designations for tech equity and RSUs common among commuters to San Francisco.
We account for microclimate issues—salt air corrosion, wildfire smoke events, and evacuation planning—by including insurance reviews, disaster document access plans, and trust provisions for temporary incapacity. We comply with Tiburon municipal code filing norms and Marin County Recorder requirements, and we notarize and record deeds correctly for reassessment rules.
We also serve nearby neighborhoods: Reedlands, Strawberry, and Tiburon Hills, offering mobile signings, bilingual notary coordination, and evening consultations to fit school and ferry schedules. We use recycled paper, secure e-signing where permitted, and support local shoreline cleanups.
