You definitely want to hook up with Scott Templeton and Rosalind Kovacs at the San Diego Elder Law Center if you need help for your ailing for deceased Parent or Relative. They really care about you and and your family members to help them though whatever legal issues in California come up. We used them, and it was a really great experience for something so challenging to go through. Please give them a call you won't be disappointed.

i asked for SDELC's help over 2 years ago after my aunt had a stroke and became cognitively impaired. i needed to take over the management of her legal and financial affairs and i worked with attorney scott templeton and paralegal ann roberts. both of them were very knowledgeable and helpful, guiding me through various legal processes. the two most complex issues were: (1) taking my aunt's bank to court since they seemed to want to fight me every step of the way when it came to accepting my power-of-attorney so that i could manage my aunt's accounts, and (2) setting up a conservatorship for my aunt so that i could comprehensively manage everything for her without any further legal challenges. throughout it all, scott and ann explained every step of every process to me in a way i could easily understand. now that my conservatorship is fully set up, i'll continue to use SDELC for all of my aunt's future legal needs. of course, i would gladly recommend SDELC (scott and ann in particular) to anyone who needs legal help for their elderly relatives!

Phil is a legend! Had the privilege of getting connected to Phil who provided clarity to me and my family during a challenging time. A true professional.

Our review of our trust with the attorney, Scott, from SD Elder Law was exceptional. He had reviewed our trust and was prepared to answer our 13 questions we had sent in prior to our meeting. He was friendly and very informative. We highly recommend them.

My attorneys at the San Diego Elder Law Center were Scott Templeton and Adam Juel. Important staff included Ann Roberts, Liz Lockwood and Sarah Harris. All of them have worked diligently to help me handle two petitions concerning my mother's estate, and to ensure that I have outstanding legal support to help me honor my mother's wishes as trustee for her estate. Our family would have been lost without their superior guidance and support!

In 2021 I was beaten by a 40 year old woman and she broke my neck. The judge said "anyone can say I'm disabled " even though I provided medical records showing just about every bone in my body is metal from neck to tailbone & 2 hip replacements. Not one law firm will help me. She's continued to harassment and continues to bring restraining orders against me lying. She even said I committed a felon and her boss was going to bring legal charges against me, yet the owner said he knows nothing about it, but she told the judge on second time this was true? I have so much proof She's insane person and a lying. So I'm writing a page in major magazine naming 2 judges and all lawyers who wrote, they will not help. Including this one and district attorney office. Including pictures of my injury and surgery to repair my neck.

Roz and Adam are the team that has helped me navigate the administration, protection and distribution of my parent’s trust assets. Both have provided much needed guidance in my role as the trustee. Roz especially has been helpful in providing clarification, marshalling of all the trust assets, performing the proper accounting and other transactions to close the trust properly. Roz often tells me that “It’s my job” in response to me expressing my thanks for the numerous times she’s assisted me with anything and everything. I feel that not only is Roz doing her job, but she is going above and beyond by providing much needed support in the role of a trustee. Grateful to have found SDELC and equally thankful for Roz and Adam.

We were referred to San Diego Elder Law Center by a friend of mine and we’re specifically referred to Carly Surber Maganuco. We had a long phone conversation with Carly and the subsequently had her review all of our trusts, wills and financial statements. Then we met with Carly in person for 90 minutes and she gave us an education on what we could expect in the future and where she could help. We paid $350 for the consultation and my father said “it was the best $350 I’ve ever spent”. Carly was honest and straight forward and told us that we had all the documentation set up correctly and there was little she could do to help us today but she told us when we should contact her for help in the future It was very relieving to meet a lawyer with such integrity and honesty and it honestly lifted a weight off our shoulders knowing we had found an expert who we could trust to help us navigate some of the challenges ahead. I have already referred Carly to two other people I know who were looking for help and I feel much more confident that I will be able to assist my parents as they are because I now have Carly at my side I would highly recommend Carly to anyone seeking assistance and it was a true pleasure to work with her

I recommend the San Diego Elder Law Center highly, and Attorney Carly Surber Maganuco, and assistant Rosaline Kovacs. They helped us with executing and managing my parents estate, and helped with conservancy for my mother. All went flawlessly. They are expert at what they do; professional, courteous, helpful and prompt. Top notch folks. I am glad to have them on my side.

Our family has used San Diego Elder Law Center on several different occasions. Each time has gone smoothly. Attorney Scott Templeton and the entire staff are extremely knowledgeable, kind and supportive. I can’t say enough good things about them.

The San Diego Elder Law Center and attorney Adam Juel helped my family and provided expert services and guidance. They do their job very well, and every person on their team is very responsive and kind. They understand that these matters are not something we handle every day. They are great at answering questions. I was referred to them and I have been very grateful for that referral. I have also recommended them to others.
