Hello, I am Paul Hilton; an attorney in San Diego California. I like to serve primarily the communities of Rancho Penasquitos, Poway, Scripps Ranch and Mira Mesa and the local community of Veterans, and Department of Defense civilians.

My life experience gives me a passion to help people prepare their affairs before tragic events happen. I help clients to arrange their affairs according to their wishes and to maximize the support their loved ones will receive while minimizing the turmoil when a transition is necessary.

I do estate planning. I help clients prepare for their eventual and inevitable death, and for their likely periods of incapacity. I prepare the Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Power of Attorney and Health information authorizations to name a few.

Do your have questions about your trust documents?
