Susan S Wilson Law Offices in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district has concentrated on estate planning, probate, and trust law since the firm's founding in 1983 on Second Street. The practice holds a Certified Specialist designation in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law from the State Bar of California's Board of Legal Specialization — a credential maintained since 1991 — and coordinates trust-funding strategies with wealth managers at Seawise Financial, Inc. for clients with diversified investment portfolios requiring retitling into trust ownership. An honors graduate of Stanford University and the University of Southern California School of Law, Wilson began her career at Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps before establishing her independent practice in North County San Diego. Services span joint and separate property trusts, special-needs trusts, durable powers of attorney, conservatorships, guardianships, and contested trust litigation. Trust-administration engagements that involve real property transfers frequently require coordination with brokerages such as Caspersen Group in Cardiff by the Sea to manage the listing and sale of trust-held residential assets under fiduciary-duty standards. Highest-value matters include federal estate and gift taxation planning under IRC Sections 2001 through 2704, generation-skipping transfer trust structuring, and Probate Code Section 17200 petitions for judicial instruction on trust-administration disputes.
