About Margaret Mary O’Rourke

Since 1981 it has been my mission to help individuals and families in the Mendocino County area with their estate and inheritance planning needs. My years of experience in estate planning and administration include drafting and administering hundreds of estate plans. Every estate plan is different as the needs and concerns of each client are unique.

MY customized estate plans include

• Revocable Living Trust
  • Pourover Will
  • Health Care Directive
  • Medical Authorization
  • Power of Attorney
  • Living Will
  • Personal Property Memorandum
• Special Needs Planning
• Planning for a blended family
• A/B (Bypass) Trusts for married couples
• Qualified Retirement Trusts
• Asset Protection Trust

Although my estate plans rarely have to be probated, this office has an efficient and comprehensive system for probating Wills. I also have knowledge of social security laws and skills for recognizing and preventing elder abuse.
