This firm is absolutely amazing. Daniel Rubalcava truly cares about his Clients. When I first had a conversation with him regarding a potential matter involving real estate, you could feel his empathetic tone and passion in his voice. He and Greenacre have truly been a pleasure to work with, and to have by my side for any future matters that I may have.
I was referred to Daniel and Greenacre through a family member who stated that they may be able to help me with transferring my property to my Trust. Daniel not only helped me, but took the time to draft the requisite documents and inform me how to file with the County Recorder’s office to get everything squared away. I was satisfied and content with his services, and now I am able to have peace of mind knowing that my property is in my trust, and my kids won’t have to ever open up a probate with regards to the property.
I contacted Greenacre when I needed my lease reviewed regarding my security deposit, and extra fees associated with my lease after expiration. Daniel was able to discuss my options with me after reviewing the documents, and concluded that it was imperative to contact the leasing company regarding the situation. I was able to get it resolved, and I’m thankful Daniel took the time to help aid me and consult during this process.

Estate Planning – Is it Time?
An estate plan is not just for older Southern Californians. Any individual or couple who owns a home, has children, or has other assets should ensure their estate is protected. The process protects the people you love in the event of an unexpected death or incapacitation. Every estate plan is different, crafted to meet the individual’s needs regarding tax benefits and to protect your assets to pass on to the people you love.
When someone dies without a will, California law determines how the estate is distributed. Estate distribution takes time, as the estate must go through probate. For simple estates, this usually takes 12 to 18 months; complex ones take longer. Disputes among family members and complex tax filings can further slow the process. During this time, loved ones may face financial stress. An estate plan allows your assets to transfer more easily and quickly to your designated heirs.
Skilled Litigators
Many legal issues can be resolved without court involvement, but sometimes litigation is necessary. The skills of your estate or real estate lawyer are crucial in these cases.
Property disputes our firm represents may include the following situations:
- Property disputes
- Quiet title actions
- Boundaries
- Purchase agreements
- Suretyship
- Security Agreements
- Asset purchase
- Estate planning related to property
- Construction defect litigation
- Real estate litigation
Real estate litigation demands knowledge of California real estate law, factual investigation, and a strategic plan supported by evidence, presented professionally and persuasively. At Greenacre Law, we proudly represent Southern Californians in complex real estate matters. We invite you to meet with us to discuss your situation and explore paths to a positive outcome.

Estate Law and Real Estate Law: How They Intersect
If you own property and plan to pass it to loved ones, several factors affect how your estate is distributed. The property’s title significantly impacts the legal process. Decisions about your estate’s structure are critical for your loved ones after your passing.
It could not be more important to make the transition simple for the family members you care about, rather than leaving a confused situation that triggers significant tax bills, which may make it impossible to keep the property. These two segments of law intersect, and any such matter should be managed by a law firm with a deep understanding of both to ensure the transition is as smooth and uneventful as possible.

READ MOREProperty Titles and Estate Planning
Property titles are available in several different forms:
- Community Property and Right of Survivorship: Married couples may choose to title property in this manner, as it allows the surviving spouse to inherit the deceased spouse’s interest in the property without going through probate.
- Joint Tenancy: This title is similar to Right of Survivorship, allowing the property to be transferred automatically to a surviving spouse. It may not offer as many tax benefits as Right to Survivorship titling.
- Community Property: Holding title as community property may pose a risk to a surviving spouse, as their interest could pass to another party, allowing private transfer outside probate but retaining community property tax benefits.
- Revocable Living Trust: Allows owners to avoid probate, transfer property to beneficiaries, and maintain community property tax advantages.
- Proposition 19: Transferring property to children may trigger property taxes unless it becomes their primary residence.
