The attorneys at Baydaline & Jacobsen have broad experience in the representation of community associations. The firm is one of Northern California and Nevada's leading law firms in this unique and highly-specialized field of law. We provide a wide range of services to our community association clients, including the revision and enforcement of the declarations of covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable to their communities. We provide sound legal guidance to the volunteer boards of directors charged with managing the associations.
We have broad experience in the interpretation of community association governing documents and provide not just legal guidance, but also practical advice with respect to the interpretation and implementation of these documents. Where necessary, we prepare understandable, workable amendments to governing documents. Our attorneys have prepared complete restatements of governing documents where the age of the documents or the changing conditions of the communities they govern make them obsolete. Our services also include the review, revision and preparation of contracts and the analysis and resolution of real estate issues as they affect our community association clients.
We emphasize the practical, cost effective approach to meeting the legal challenges faced by community associations in recognition of the fact that most associations operate on very limited, tight budgets. We encourage positive, non-confrontational interactions between our community association clients and their members in order to resolve disputes in the most efficient, least disruptive manner. However, we serve as strong advocates for our clients and have substantial experience in the enforcement of community association governing documents through alternative dispute resolution or litigation where other means fail.
In close conjunction with and in support of our other practice groups, Baydaline & Jacobsen's litigation practice group provides efficient, practical representation of our clients when the need to either defend or pursue litigation arises. We emphasize providing our clients with realistic counsel regarding the nature of their disputes, including full and complete evaluations of the strengths and weaknesses of their positions. We provide aggressive representation and serve as forceful advocates for our clients. We also understand and acknowledge that each client has different needs and expectations with respect to the resolution of their conflicts. Our approach towards litigation emphasizes the specific needs and approaches of each individual client.
Baydaline & Jacobsen's estate planning and probate practice focuses on preserving our clients' estates by minimizing, to the extent possible, any federal estate tax and administration costs of estate distribution. We offer a board range of estate planning techniques from sophisticated trust planning to survivorship and beneficiary designation, depending upon the unique needs of our individual clients.
Our estate planning section also handles the probate administration of decedents' estates, and the controversies which may aries during the court process, court administration of family trust issues, and the creation and administration of special needs trusts. In addition, we represent clients in conservatorship and guardianship issues.
When family disputes do arise requiring litigation of complex probate issues or trust administration and accounting issues, we provide representation to both fiduciaries and beneficiaries. With the goals in mind to obtain the best result possible for our clients, we also provide mediation services when appropriate.
