Cross-Border & Complex Estates · San Diego

For Estates Most
Fiduciaries
Aren't Built For.

When an estate crosses borders, involves non-U.S. beneficiaries, or holds a business, real estate, or other sophisticated assets, an ordinary fiduciary isn't enough. Al Stam brings an international legal background — dual LL.M. degrees and years in cross-border M&A — to trust administration, probate, and fiduciary service across San Diego and Orange County.

Where Most Fiduciaries Stop,
My Work Begins

Most fiduciaries are comfortable with a bank account and a family home. Stam Fiduciary was built for the estates that make them hesitate — those with non-U.S. citizen beneficiaries, foreign or cross-border assets, closely-held business interests, and other sophisticated holdings that demand real legal and financial fluency.

That fluency comes from an unusual background for a fiduciary: dual LL.M. degrees in business and international commercial law, years of cross-border M&A and transactional practice at global firms and KPMG, and the ability to work in both English and Russian. As an independent California Licensed Professional Fiduciary (CLPF #1601), Al brings that depth to every engagement — reading the trust the way its drafting attorney did, coordinating with your counsel and tax advisors, and administering complex assets with precision and full accountability under California law.
