Practicing estate planning, trust administration, and individual taxation in San Diego since 1981, William "Bill" Sauls earned his JD from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 1980 and writes revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, durable powers of attorney, and advance health care directives out of his Fifth Avenue office in Bankers Hill. He also serves Of-Counsel at Hoffman & Forde, Attorneys At Law, a documented firm affiliation reflected on both practices' websites, which extends his estate and business matters into that firm's broader transactional bench. The practice handles downstream trust administration when a settlor passes, including asset retitling, beneficiary notice, and 120-day contest periods. Form 1041 fiduciary returns and individual 1040 preparation for trust beneficiaries get handed off to CPAs including JGT CPA Solutions Accountancy Corporation when a matter crosses the attorney-CPA line. Business clients retain him as outside counsel for entity formation, buy-sell agreements, and corporate governance work tied to closely held California S-corps and LLCs. The most involved files are multi-generational trusts with Form 706 estate-tax exposure, blended-family beneficiary disputes, and real-estate-heavy estates requiring probate court filings in San Diego Superior.
