My wife and I were concerned with what would happen if one or both of us were effected by COVID19. What would happen to our property and assets? Who would care for our daughter. We were absolutely delighted to work with Matthew Talbot. He answered our questions and was patient with us through so much of our ignorance about how things work. He explained everything very well and advised how certain decisions could make an impact on how our trust would be handled at the time of our death. He is honest, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Matt and Elizabeth handled our Estate Plan with incredible professionalism and care. During COVID19 Shelter-in-Place, a time of such profound uncertainty, Matt made us feel completely taken care of. He explained our options with clarity, kindness and honesty. He brings a lightheartedness to the table, which alleviated any potential stress associated with Estate Planning. Elizabeth was also such a pleasure to work with! Her calm demeanor and attention to detail was so appreciated. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and straightforward. We would definitely recommend their services! We can't thank you enough, Matt and Elizabeth!
As a clinical social worker in the Bay area and in my personal life I have dealt with a significant amount of death. After dealing with my father's estate and the complexities of probate, I was determined to set up my estate plan and make sure myself and my daughter were protected. Matthew Talbot was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging throughout the estate planning process. He has also given me extensive helpful advice relating to Conservatorship and the care of elders in our community, which is an issue that comes up frequently in my work. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a stellar estate plan or elder law attorney in the San Francisco Bay area. Mr. Talbot and his team made me feel welcoming and were extremely professional, I felt at ease during a very difficult and stressful time in my life.
My favorable experience with Talbot Law Group rests entirely with their attorney Ms. Emily Nashban who was assigned to my case. I live in Pennsylvania; however, my sister, who lived in the Bay Area, passed away unexpectedly. I became executor of her intestate estate, which necessitated probate proceedings. It entailed a long (more-than-a-year process--mainly due to CA laws and court timetable/availability). I had no previous CA-appointed executor experience and therefore had to rely completely on Ms. Nashban’s guidance. From start to finish, she provided all the legal advice and assistance needed to successfully reach a "case closed"—all with no glitches. (It should be noted that I, unfortunately, have never met Ms. Nashban in person. The 2,300-mile CA-to-PA separation necessitated all matters be handled by telephone, email, and U.S. mail.) Ms. Nashban was at all times efficient in both her duties and overseeing mine. I developed complete confidence in her advice and actions and found her to be a very pleasant attorney who truly cares for her clients and their needs. I cannot recommend her services more highly.

Matthew helped me through the process of assuring my father had the very best care available to him during his final years. Along with Matthew's expertise in elder rights he also provided a team of professionals who handled my fathers medical care as well as all financial responsibilities. Matthew kept us informed every step of the way and made a difficult family situation much easier. He is very professional and knowledgeable and I highly recommend Matthew. My wife and I look forward to his assistance in setting up a Trust. Curtis P.
