“When it comes to working with families, I’ve seen it all—from children left without guardians, to estates locked up in probate, to inheritances completely lost to creditors. I’ve dealt with rogue siblings taking advantage of unsuspecting parents, inheritances lost to needless tax disasters, and businesses that have failed because owners didn’t plan for their demise. Consequently, I have a passion for providing peace of mind through the best and most efficient estate planning strategies. I’ll let you know exactly what your legal options are, counsel you regarding what I recommend doing and why, quote you a fixed price, and give you an exact date I’ll have the work done. It’s as simple as that.” – Anthony Celaya, JD
"What I enjoy most is working with our clients one on one. At Celaya Law, we’ve developed a system that puts our clients first, so I have ample time to guide them through every aspect of planning their estate. Creating trustworthy relationships that will last a lifetime is my highest priority." – Meghan M. Avila

We draft plans to ensure your hard-earned wealth is transferred how and when you want it to family and loved ones. We protect your heirs by shielding inherited funds from possible business losses, marriage to a spouse with high debt risk, and also divorce. We also establish Special Needs Trusts for family members who need the added help to manage their funds.
During our consultations, we answer your questions and address your concerns. We then propose options with a timeline for your Trust’s completion (our standard is within two weeks). We spell out what information we need from you and do all the necessary funding to ensure all your assets are included in your plan.
We provide free, lifetime services to all of our clients, including family meetings, workshops, electronic documents, collaboration with financial advisers, funding new assets, and updating your plan as laws change. We ensure your plan is up to date and serving your best interests.
Our services are quoted as one flat fee at the time of your initial consultation. We never up-charge for funding, recording, or notary services. Our stated fee includes everything related to your estate plan.
