PROFILE
Gillian Stein has been practicing law since 1979. Initially practicing in South Africa, Gillian became a member of the California Bar in 1984. Her areas of practice have included asbestos litigation, environmental, insurance and education law, as well involvement legal aid societies and general business. Since 2004, she has concentrated on Estate Planning particularly small to medium sized estates.
Gillian is committed to educating and informing clients about the need and advantages of Estate Planning. She meets personally with clients, often at their own homes, to examine their financial, family and health needs. Plans are customized for each client individually with the use of trusts, wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Health Care Directives. These are essential to prepare for possible incapacity, tax planning and for distribution of assets at time of death. This ensures the clients wishes are acted followed. This may avoid probate and helps facilitate administration of the estate.
Ms. Stein has also played an active role in her community and has been participated in numerous volunteer organizations over the years and at present is on the Board of Trustees of a private school in Irvine. Presently Gillian is active in volunteering for the Public Law Center and assisting the Guardianship Clinic at the Orange County Superior Court – Probate division.
