Estate planning and bankruptcy representation in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill distinguish the Santee Legal Center at 1901 First Avenue, a firm established in 1991 under California State Bar #153586 with a California Western School of Law J.D. and multi-office presence across San Diego County. Real-property matters including deed transfers, HOA disputes, and title-clearance actions frequently intersect with the residential transaction work facilitated by agents like Auker Group Real Estate in nearby Bankers Hill. The estate-planning practice drafts revocable living trusts, special-needs trusts compliant with 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(d)(4), qualified personal-residence trusts, family limited partnerships, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives under California Probate Code Division 4.5. Bankruptcy services encompass Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization filings, including means-test calculations under 11 U.S.C. § 707(b) and automatic-stay protections under § 362. Asset-protection planning and Medi-Cal eligibility structuring require coordination with financial advisors modeling spend-down strategies, a planning intersection served by Archipelago Wealth Management in the downtown financial district. The highest-complexity filings involve coordinated irrevocable-trust formation with Medi-Cal look-back-period compliance under 42 U.S.C. § 1396p(c), simultaneous Chapter 13 reorganization plans, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning under IRC § 2601 for multi-generational estates.
