Garth V Smith Attorney at Law

Adoption
Guardianship

Juvenile Crimes
While living in San Francisco, I maintained a solo general practice including trial and appellate matters in torts, business, family law, real property and juvenile law. I served as an instructor at Hastings College of Law, University of California, teaching Writing and Research. I had been previously employed part time by major San Francisco insurance defense firms in litigation support.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
I've been practicing law for over 40 years, and have been serving my clients as an estate planning attorney in Santa Cruz County since 1995. With a rich and varied background in civil litigation and business law, I specialize in crafting estate plans that address both complex legal issues and sensitive family dynamics.
Business Transactions

Social Security Disability
I've focused on estate planning and administration, probate, conservatorships and special needs trusts since 1999, but have a wealth of experience beyond that specialization. I've worked as an associate attorney at a Santa Cruz law firm specializing in real property and business transactions. I have experience in property and business litigation on the trial and appellate levels. Earlier in my career in Santa Cruz, I was employed as an associate attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Santa Cruz, where I was responsible for Social Security disability federal court appeals as well as managing and successfully arguing a major class action appellate action.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
“ I wanted to work with someone I could trust, and someone that I thought my family could trust and work with. I found that person in Harriet Brown. She patiently listened to what I wanted and needed in estate planning. She sought first to understand my estate planning needs, and what I wanted set up functionally. After working through the details with me, she transformed what I wanted into the needed legal documents that safeguard and carry out my wishes legally. I am so glad that I found Harriet Brown to work with for my estate planning needs.
Wills
Trusts
As a sole practitioner in downtown Santa Cruz, my emphasis since 1999 has been on estate planning and administration, probate, conservatorships, special needs trusts, and adoptions.
Power of Attorney
Inter vivos structuring of ownership. Also includes preparation for a person's incapacity during their lifetime by creating powers of attorney and advanced health care directives (also known as medical directives).
Probate

Tax Law
“ I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Harriet Brown for almost seven years. She consistently demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and knowledge of estates, trusts and tax issues.
