Wills & Trusts
Your Last Will and Testament is a legal document that outlines how you want your estate and your property to be managed upon your passing. It is one of the most important parts of your estate plan.
In your will, you can address:
- Guardianships for any minor children
- Information about paying debts
- Make charitable contributions
- How your assets and property will be passed onto beneficiaries
- An executor who will be responsible for carrying out your will
A trust is another helpful estate planning tool that we can help you take advantage of. A trust is a way to prevent your estate from going through probate, pass assets onto a beneficiary while protecting it from creditors, preventing minor children from misusing it, and diminishing tax liability. Our estate planning attorneys in Folsom can help you establish and fund a trust.
Advance Health Care Directives
An advance health care directive (AHCD) – sometimes called a medical power of attorney or a living will – is a document that outlines your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care. An AHCD appoints someone as your “agent” who can make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you are mentally or physically incapacitated.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a document that grants someone the power to act on your behalf. Establishing a power of attorney can be beneficial throughout your life and during your end-of-life care.
There are a few different types of powers of attorney, including:
- Limited: This gives someone the power to act for you for one limited purpose – for example, the power to sign a lease on your behalf.
- General: This is a more comprehensive power of attorney that gives someone general powers, such as the right to sign documents, pay bills, and make financial transactions for you.
- Durable: This type of power of attorney can be limited or general in scope, but it remains in effect even if you become incapacitated.
To take advantage of any of these estate planning tools, call the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C. at (916) 794-4576.

“Excellent Process and Assistance”
I'd like to thank Tiffany for her advice. I've been divorced for over a year and am still trying to collect on the settlement agreement. I had a question about the legal interest and if it's collectible and she said definitely! as long as the judgment doesn't preclude it. She was extremely helpful - also offering other remedies to assist in the collection of the funds. I would definitely call her again if I need more help.- Previous Client -
“Family Called by CPS”
Was called by CPS for the first time. We were scared, didn't know what to do or say. Didn't have any idea how to handle an unfortunate situation like this. Just because of a false accusation, our lives changed! Called a friend and referred me to Tiffany who's an expert in this kind of situations. Tiffany was there to answer all our questions, gave us advice and cleared our minds. She explained the situation in a manner that we will understand and assured us that everything will be fine. Those were the words that we needed to hear. We followed her advice and Thank God everything went well. Thank you, Tiffany!- Previous Client -
“Very Attentive Attorney”
Once Tiffany took on my case, she was on top of every detail. She was always responsive to my questions and got back to me in a timely manner. She was well informed about opposing counsel and helped lead me in very strategic conversations to resolve the matter quickly and to my advantage.- Mary -
“I feel blessed to have Ms. Andrews on my side, and I highly recommend her services!”
- CarlosAfter the initial shock of being served divorce papers, I began interviewing attorneys to help me with the legal proceedings. The first couple of attorneys focused on how to address the support and division of property issues included in the papers I was served, without really asking me about my interests in this matter.
After meeting with Ms. Andrews, and ever since that initial interview and consultation, I always felt she had my best interests in mind. She immediately explained what I needed to file and when what to expect going forward and then asked me about my interests. Wow! She was exactly the kind of attorney I was looking for to represent me.
She was always responsive to my questions and requests, no matter how basic, and got back to me in a timely manner… at times outside normal work hours. But, the biggest and most pleasant surprise to me was when she began educating and guiding me through every step in order to achieve my interests and goals -– mainly, my number one priority and “my everything” in this whole process: to retain shared custody and visitation rights with my children. Her guidance and recommendations put me at ease and really helped put my children first.
Her knowledge, honesty, and dedication through numerous and unexpected court hearings involving custody and visitation issues not only resulted in the resolution of such issues in a competent and efficient manner but a resolution that Ms. Andrews knew I wanted.
Not only is Ms. Andrews reliable, helpful and an overall amazing attorney, her office staff is also very courteous, professional and efficient in keeping me apprised of what was needed and the status of the case. Thank you so much, Ms. Andrews… and staff!!

“Tiffany was there for me, even AFTER my case was filed.”
Long Story short, My particular case started off as a Divorce & Child Custody case; but soon after Divorce papers were filed; I (a male) became a Victim of a brutal Domestic Violence from my Ex. Tiffany took care of all the necessary documents needed to finalize my Divorce & Child Custody case while I was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds & internal injuries. Tiffany helped & filed documents so that my children wouldn't be taken as wards of the state; & gave temporary custody to a familial relative while I recovered from my injuries. Not once did she leave my side as an attorney while I was in the hospital recovering from what my Ex-wife did... If I could recommend a Family Attorney to anyone in Northern California... I would recommend Tiffany Andrews; there is no doubt about this in my mind.- Arnell -
“Professional and Effective”
I retained Tiffany Andrews to accomplish my divorce and am pleased with the service provided. My ex-wife was very uncooperative at times and prolonged the divorce unnecessarily. Tiffany was able to move things along and eventually get her to complete her part of the necessary paperwork. Further, I am in the military and was deployed while the process was ongoing. Even though I was half a world away Tiffany and her staff were able to keep me abreast of the situation and worked with me to sign paperwork and keep things rolling. I would highly recommend Tiffany Andrews to those in need of legal services.- Previous Client -
