DOCUMENTS TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
WHAT CAN WE PREPARE FOR YOU? POWER OF ATTORNEY A Power of Attorney is a written document in which a person, also known as the Principal, appoints another person, also known as the Agent, to act on his or her behalf. This appointment is mainly made regarding private affairs, business, and other court-ordered matters. The Power of Attorney expires with the taxpayer's death (Principal) or if the representative (Agent) revokes it. People normally opt for a Power of Attorney for medical or financial reasons. TYPES In the state of California, there are four different types of Power of Attorney.
-
Limited Power of Attorney In this case, a person can act in place of another individual to fulfill a particular duty. On completion of the specified responsibility, the Power of Attorney becomes void.
-
Durable Power of Attorney A person can act in place of another for financial decision-making. This type of Power of Attorney remains valid even if the Principal becomes incapacitated.
-
General Power of Attorney A General Power of Attorney is similar to a Durable Power of Attorney, however, the former stands void if the Principal becomes incapacitated.
-
Medical Power of Attorney In such a Power of Attorney, the Agent is authorized to make all the medical decisions for the Principal.

MEDIATION - STIPULATION JUDGMENT - MEDIATION BRIEF
In complies with the
2007 California Evidence Code Chapter 2. Mediation ( CA Codes (evid:1115-1128)
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a structured negotiation process in which an independent and neutral person, known as a mediator, assists the parties in identifying, evaluating options and negotiating an agreement to resolve their dispute. (See California Rule 3.857. Quality of the mediation process) Mediation is an alternative to a judge imposing a decision on the parties. Courts encourage mediation, and although the process is voluntary, it’s important to know that refusing a request to mediate may weaken your position if the case is taken before a judge later.
The mediator does not have to be an attorney. The process is informal and flexible, attorneys are not necessary. No formal rules of evidence or witnesses. It is 100% confidential.
What are the benefits of mediation?
- Effective – Mediation has grown in popularity because of its high settlement rate.
- Efficient – Disputes can be resolved faster than going to court. Statistics indicate that more than 70% of mediation cases settle on the day or shortly thereafter.
- Cost-effective – Resolving a dispute through mediation is much less expensive than going to court.
- Confidential – Mediation allows the dispute to remain private and can also be less disruptive to a business or a family.
- Flexible – Parties work with a specialist mediator to explore the dispute and all the possible solutions together.
- Less formal than going to court – Fewer people are involved in mediation than when you go to court.
- Rewarding – A mediator’s role is to assist communication between the parties, not to make or impose any decisions; The involved parties control the outcome and work together to come to a win/win agreement.
- Forward-looking – Working together in mediation can benefit professional relationships and build a strong foundation for any future negotiations.
- Can result in a legally binding agreement – Although the process of mediation is not legally binding, it can result in a legally binding settlement document that should have the same strength as a court order.
Stipulation Judgment
A stipulated judgment which constitutes a formal legal acknowledgment and agreement between oposing parties before or during hearing or trial. Stipulations are frequently made to dictate procedural matters in a way that is mutually beneficial for both parties. Furthermore, in a judicial proceeding, a stipulation is binding without consideration. Once you enter into this voluntary agreement, the court may consider it a binding contract you cannot revoke.
Mediation Brief
The mediation brief is an opportunity to tell the client’s story in a compelling and persuasive manner to convince the opposing parties of the merits of the settlement. A well-written and documented brief will assist in achieving a successful mediation.
We are very careful in the approach we use since the goal is a settlement, and to demonstrate that our client has a good, and strong case. A good confidential mediation statement can be a roadmap to help the mediator help you obtain a successful result.

- REGISTERED PROCESS SERVER-
SOS Ayuda Legal, LLC offers personal services, as we are over 18 years old in Orange County, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties, California.
According to the California Superior Court, "Service of court papers" means that the other side must get copies of any papers you file with the court.
Why Proof of Serving is super important?
Proof of service is a document that functions like a legal “receipt” confirming the delivery of documents from one party to another in a legal matter. It is a written version of a sworn statement attesting to the completion of the service process.
Can you serve papers yourself in California?
Do not serve the papers yourself! Any person at least 18 years old and not involved in the case may serve papers. The person who serves the documents will have to fill out a Proof of Service ( POS) form showing what they gave (served) the Court documents to the other parties. This has to be filed at the Court to prove that you serve the other party.
There are cases where ONLY a Register Processer Server or the County Sheriff can serve the legal document. Ask at the Self-help center of your Courthouse about it.
