WHY CHOOSE RIDLEY LAW OFFICES
The Estate Plan That Doesn’t Fail Your Family
Your plan is crafted over five structured meetings with Eric, not rushed in a single visit. This includes values discovery, asset review, and personal design time.
Eric personally handles every meeting. You’ll never get shuffled off to a paralegal or junior associate.
Most plans fall apart because they’re never funded. Ours doesn’t stop until yours is signed, sealed, and delivered—with a notary at your doorstep.

His unique five-meeting process ensures every plan is personal, thorough, and actually gets implemented—not forgotten in a drawer. Many clients continue with Eric’s long-term financial guidance through his private wealth firm.
“I’ve seen brilliant people lose millions over avoidable estate mistakes. My job is to make sure that never happens to you.”

FAQs
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
Yes. In California, a will alone still goes through probate—often costing your heirs time and money. A living trust avoids that.
Is this all virtual?
Yes. We’ve built a completely remote process using Zoom, phone, and notary services at your door—convenient, secure, and personal.
How much does this cost?
Plans vary based on complexity, but most clients invest between $3,500–$5,500. We'll cover pricing in your free consultation.
Who actually does the work?
Eric Ridley personally handles every meeting, review, and recommendation. You will never be passed off to a junior associate.
What if my college-aged child is hospitalized—can I step in?
Not without a healthcare directive. We include these crucial documents in our plans to ensure your loved ones are protected.
