About Michael Holmes

For over two decades, I've helped individuals and families protect what they've worked hardest to build — and pass it on the way they intended.I'm a solo estate planning attorney licensed in California, Idaho, Washington, and Texas. My practice is entirely virtual, which means I work with clients wherever they are, on their schedule, without the overhead of a traditional law office driving up their fees.My path here wasn't conventional. I served in the United States Army before building a 23-year career in California estate planning. A few years ago, like many Californians, I planted roots in Idaho's Treasure Valley — and I kept my California practice going. That experience gave me something most estate planning attorneys simply don't have: a first-hand understanding of what it means to live across state lines, own property in multiple states, and wonder whether the legal documents you signed years ago still actually protect your family.The answer, often, is: not as well as you think.If you've relocated from California to Idaho, Texas, or Washington — or if you split your time between states — your estate plan may have gaps you don't know about. Trusts drafted in one state don't always function cleanly in another. Beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives all have state-specific requirements. I help clients navigate exactly this kind of complexity, without having to hire separate attorneys in every state where they have a life.I also have a particular commitment to serving fellow veterans and their families. Military service creates unique estate planning considerations — from VA benefits coordination to survivor protections — and I take pride in making sure those who served have plans that reflect the full picture of what they've earned.Whether you're a California transplant who just bought a home in Boise, a Texas retiree with property still on the coast, or simply someone who wants a straightforward plan done right the first time, I'd welcome the conversation.What I help clients with: Wills and revocable living trusts · Powers of attorney · Healthcare directives · Multi-state estate planning · Trust administration · Beneficiary planning · Estate planning for veterans📍 Treasure Valley, Idaho | Orange County, California 🌐 Virtual practice serving clients in CA, ID, WA, and TX 📩 michael@askholmes.com
