Meet Jenna Cohen.
Owner and Trust and Estate Paralegal
Thanks for wanting to learn more about me!
I am very passionate about helping families secure their assets and avoid probate. How did I get started? I’ve actually been a Trusts & Estates Paralegal for about 11 years, working directly for attorneys. It was seeing attorneys charge over $3,000 for an estate plan, over $15,000 for a probate, and hearing so many people say they can’t get their trust and will done because they can’t afford it. So, you just hope you have enough money at some point to get these documents done before you die? There has to be another way.
After helping a few friends and family members create estate plans, I realized I could do this for everyone. I always thought I would have to become an attorney, but with my experience as a paralegal, and with the help of my attorney-reviewers, I can draft directly for Clients!
I started working for an estate planning attorney in July of 2008 as a receptionist and I have never looked back. In July of 2013, I obtained my paralegal certificate and have worked as an estate planning paralegal since. As of January 2017, I have been a freelance paralegal working remotely for attorneys throughout California (and other states).
I am excited to walk with you on this journey to protect your assets and provide for your heirs.

On a personal note: I am a proud born and raised Californian…if you’re a Texan, no, I am not that kind of Californian. We are the gun-supporting, God-fearing kind who were growing more frustrated with all things California (minus the weather), and when God provided Josh with a new job in Texas, we jumped on the opportunity. Well, he jumped. The girls and I were harder to convince that leaving all friends and family was a good idea. Yes, we miss our friends and family back home A LOT, but we sure are trying to make the most of our new adventure here.
My dream is to homestead small scale (grow and raise my own food), make herbal remedies, and teach my girls to do the same.
I’d love to hear from you!
