About

L. Jerry Hansen (California State Bar #196957) operates his Carlsbad elder-law and estate-planning practice from Faraday Avenue, serving North County as a veteran and VA-certified Veterans Advocate. Estate plans produced by the office include advance healthcare directives, durable powers of attorney, wills, revocable living trusts, and certifications of trust, with asset-titling coordination handled alongside wealth-management advisors at Thunder Funding. Elder-law services cover conservatorship petitions under California Probate Code Sections 1800–1898, home-care planning, and assisted-living facility placement guidance for aging North County residents. Veterans benefit from Hansen's VA advocacy, which includes discharge-upgrade petitions and benefit-eligibility counseling under Title 38 of the U.S. Code. Conservatorship proceedings require court-appointed capacity evaluations, a clinical process that intersects with behavioral-health providers including Worthy Wellness Center when the proposed conservatee's cognitive status is contested. The most complex estate-administration matters involve multi-state trust funding where California real property, out-of-state accounts, and beneficiary-designated retirement assets must be retitled across separate jurisdictional frameworks to avoid ancillary probate.
