Post-Ardmore, LLC conveyances can trigger DTT even unrecorded. We prepare the document and BOE filings.

Sales above $5.4M

Measure ULA imposes 4–5.5% on City of LA sales above threshold. We screen value and document exemptions.

Your Legal Document Assistant

Four California licenses. Every document prepared personally.

Quinnie founded TrustPoint to make California legal paperwork accessible and affordable — especially for Vietnamese and Spanish-speaking families who have long struggled to find legal help in their own language.

With four California licenses under one roof (Registered LDA, Notary Public, IRS Tax Preparer, Real Estate Agent), she prepares property deeds, living trusts, mortgage modifications, probate petitions, and civil filings personally. Personally trilingual in English and Vietnamese, with on-staff Spanish support.

Need notary, loan signing, or apostille? Our same-office partner Fingerscan Digital handles those.
