Law Office of Lauren Rios

I recently had the opportunity to work with The Law Office of Lauren Rios on a probate transaction involving the sale of a home in Concord, CA. As a Realtor who regularly works with probate attorneys to help families sell homes through the probate process, I can confidently say that Lauren is truly top notch. Lauren was proactive from the beginning, making sure everything was organized and that I had what I needed to handle the real estate side of the transaction smoothly. Her communication was excellent, she responded quickly, stayed ahead of deadlines, and ensured that all required items were handled in advance, which made the entire process feel seamless for everyone involved. Probate transactions can often be complex, but Lauren’s professionalism, attention to detail, and client-focused approach made this one feel easy and well-managed from start to finish. I highly recommend Lauren Rios to anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy probate or trust attorney. She is a true professional and a great partner to work with.

Lauren set up our will and she made the process much easier than we expected it to be. It is such a big job that feels overwhelming, but Lauren broke everything down into bite sized chunks and made it feel more manageable.

Lauren was super knowledgeable, super nice and well versed in probate and estate planning in San Mateo County. Thank you for all your assistance.

Lauren was so helpful. She explained everything to us in a way my mom could understand. I truly appreciate everything from her. Extremely professional.

It was a pleasure (and relief) to have such caring advocate for my mom’s trust and health care directives. Lauren is very patient and knowledgeable.

Lauren is great to work with - friendly, professional, knowledgeable, organized and communicative. She did an excellent job shepherding us through the very detailed process of estate planning. We highly recommend her.

I highly recommend the services of Lauren Rios. I restated my Living Trust with Lauren five years after drafting the original, and I found her to be both meticulous and patient in ensuring all my assets were properly incorporated. She was always available to answer my questions and provided thoughtful guidance throughout the process. One instance that stood out was when Lauren carefully reviewed the beneficiary designations on my non-retirement accounts. At first, I was surprised by her request for details, but I soon realized I had overlooked adding the Trust as a beneficiary to a bank CD I had opened after the original Living Trust was created. Her thorough approach not only caught this oversight but also reinforced the importance of maintaining consistency in estate planning. Throughout the process, Lauren remained patient and understanding, never making me feel judged for the lapse but instead guiding me toward the necessary corrections with clarity and professionalism. She was also highly conscientious, going the extra mile to make photocopies of my Advance Health Care Directive and HIPAA Authorizations so I could easily provide them to my medical providers. Since I was scheduled to visit my primary care provider, delivering these documents was seamless, and they are now properly scanned into my medical records. Looking back, I am deeply grateful for the decision to restate my Living Trust with Lauren. There were several aspects of estate planning I had not considered at the time, and thanks to her diligence, I now feel confident that my executor will be able to carry out my wishes effectively when the time comes.

Mrs. Lauren Rios worked with my husband and myself with creating our Trust and all estate planning documents. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, organized, and detailed. We are tremendously pleased with all of her completed work and would highly recommend her.

Lauren was a beacon of support for my mom and our family during an incredibly challenging and time-sensitive period. In the midst of our distress, she went beyond just professionalism—she was empathetic, thoughtful, and deeply committed to ensuring that my mom received the best possible care. When we encountered issues with another attorney, Lauren guided us through fixing a mistake, even when she wasn’t obligated to do so. Her kindness and dedication have left us immensely grateful. Thanks to Lauren, my mom now has a Trust, providing our family with peace of mind for the future. Thank you, Lauren!
