Who I Am

The person your advisor told you to call

If you're here, someone probably gave you my name — a financial advisor, a CPA, a friend whose trust I built, or a video that finally made estate planning make sense. This site is where you can confirm you found the right person.

I'm the founder of Keyes Law Group, a boutique estate planning firm in Milpitas, California. Since 2009, my practice has focused exclusively on estate planning, trust administration, probate, special needs planning, and estate tax strategy for families across the Bay Area — typically with estates between $1 million and $50 million.

My job isn't to hand you a binder of documents you'll never read. It's to make sure you understand your own plan — what you have, where it goes, and why.
