Francisco D. Silva
PartnerFrancisco focuses on all aspects of estate planning, including lifetime wealth transfers, trust administration, business succession planning and California probate. Francisco also advises clients on various estate, gift and income tax issues, as well as California property tax concerns.
Francisco experienced the effects of estate planning firsthand when his father unexpectedly passed away and Francisco decided to specialize in this area so that he could help others avoid the same issues he faced. When he’s not at the office, you may find him at a wine tasting, cooking in the kitchen or spending time with his wife and daughter.
