Biography
For more than 20 years, I have helped thousands of families across the San Francisco Bay Area navigate the challenges and red tape of managing family assets. Prior to founding the Law Office of Vidhya Babu, APC, I was an equity and managing partner and attorney at Fox, Shjeflo & Babu, LLP. I guide clients through estate planning, probate and trust administration, and other business/real estate matters. I am dedicated to helping my clients understand their options, honor loved ones’ intentions, manage liability, and protect family assets.
CALL ME WHEN
🔹You need to create or revise a trust (tip: you should review your documents at least every 3 to 5 years)
🔹You are going through a significant life event (marriage, birth of child, divorce, death in the family)
🔹You need to appoint guardians for minor children
🔹You need to establish an advance healthcare directive
🔹You (or someone you know) has been appointed as a trustee, conservator, beneficiary, or personal representative
MY APPROACH
Estate planning can be stressful for many. It involves making plans in case of the unthinkable and making hard decisions about guardians, beneficiaries, conservators, and trustees. I believe in educating clients on all their options so they can make informed decisions about their estate.
GIVING BACK
I show the same care and dedication to my community as I do to my clients. I am dedicated to supporting our school systems and preparing children for success. I’ve previously served on the board of trustees at Compass High School in Belmont. In the past, I served as the PTA president at Central Elementary School, where I received the Honorary Service Award, recognizing my outstanding service to children and youth. Through my law office, I financially support the School Force and Carlmont Academic Foundation, two education foundations that serve the Belmont Redwood Shores School District and the Sequoia High School District, respectively. I also serve on the scholarship committee of the San Mateo County Bar. I actively volunteer with Lasagna Love and Dress for Success.
JUST FOR FUN
In my spare time, I love reading (I have been part of my book club for more than 20 years, and read more than 111 books in 2022), traveling (I’ve visited 49 of 50 states and traveled to more than 15 countries around the world) and spending time with my beautiful family.
LET’S GET IN TOUCH
Life is busy, and estate planning is essential. I can meet in whatever way works best for you to make sure we get the most out of our time together.
