About Dess Benedetto
In 1990, Ms. Benedetto graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. After working for six years in sales and software purchasing, Ms. Benedetto was admitted at the University of San Diego School of Law, where she graduated in the top of her class in 2000. Upon graduation, Ms. Benedetto elected to start her own estate planning law firm, drawing from her experience in business, finance, psychology and the law.
For over 20 years, Ms. Benedetto has assisted hundreds of clients with the creation of their Wills, Living Trusts and other estate planning documents. She compassionately assists trustees with basic and complex trust administration upon the death of the original trust creator, and also represents executors and administrators in probate estate petitions.
In 2006, Ms. Benedetto created the Family Trust Law Center, later incorporated to Family TLC, Inc., as a firm for family estate planning by professional, caring attorneys, at reasonable fees. Amendments of documents and other hourly work is done as efficiently as possible, and we look for solutions to reduce taxes and court costs. Ms. Benedetto’s goal is that Family TLC, Inc. attorneys be considered as long term estate advisors, so that families will have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are financially secure.
