About

Dimeff Law Office in Encinitas is a three-attorney estate planning practice on Eolus Avenue led by a nationally recognized speaker and member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Estate and gift tax planning requires coordination with enrolled agents and CPAs, and the firm's fiduciary tax administration work runs alongside the annual compliance services provided by preparers such as Pacific Pro Tax Solutions. The practice drafts revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, and charitable remainder trusts, with active client relationships dating to 1996 across a roster exceeding six thousand families. Beyond document drafting, the firm litigates contested estate and trust matters, handles Medi-Cal long-term care planning, administers fiduciary tax returns, and provides ERISA litigation and complex mass tort representation through experienced trial staff. Clients holding real property in trust frequently refinance or sell during trust administration, coordinating title and loan document review with mortgage lenders such as C2MortgageGroup to ensure vesting and deed-of-trust language aligns with trust provisions. Highest-complexity engagements involve multi-generational dynasty trust structures incorporating generation-skipping transfer tax exemption allocations, charitable lead annuity trust funding sequences, and irrevocable life insurance trust Crummey withdrawal provisions calibrated to current federal gift tax exclusion thresholds.
