At Peace of Mind Planning, estate planning is more than legal documents—it’s about protecting your family, honoring your wishes, and creating lasting peace of mind.

Founded by Jillian Cardona, a California-licensed attorney, the firm serves families and business owners throughout Santa Barbara, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and North County San Diego with thoughtful, personalized estate planning services.

A More Personal Approach to Estate Planning

Peace of Mind Planning was built on the belief that estate planning should feel human—not transactional.

As a mother, Jillian understands that planning for the future means thinking about the people you love most. These are deeply personal decisions: who will care for your children, how your assets will be managed, and how your legacy will be carried forward.

Clients are guided through this process with empathy, clarity, and genuine care—so they feel comfortable, supported, and confident in every decision they make.

Thoughtful Planning for Families and Business Owners

Peace of Mind Planning works with parents and business owners across Santa Barbara and North County San Diego who want to take a proactive approach to protecting their families and everything they’ve built.

Services are designed to help clients:

• Create comprehensive estate plans tailored to their family’s needs
• Name guardians and ensure children are cared for by the right people
• Protect assets and avoid unnecessary complications
• Clearly communicate their wishes to prevent confusion or conflict

Because estate planning isn’t just about preparing for the unexpected—it’s about making intentional decisions today that protect your loved ones tomorrow.

Designed for Busy Lives

For many families, estate planning stays on the to-do list because it feels overwhelming or time-consuming.

Peace of Mind Planning changes that.

The process has been carefully streamlined to make estate planning efficient and approachable—especially for busy parents and professionals in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and throughout North County San Diego.

Clients often arrive feeling unsure where to start and leave with something far more valuable: clarity, confidence, and relief.

Built on Trust, Integrity, and Connection

Peace of Mind Planning is grounded in values that matter:

• Integrity — honest guidance you can trust
• Connection — a supportive, relationship-focused experience
• Clarity — simplifying complex decisions

This isn’t just a legal service—it’s a partnership built around protecting what matters most to you.

Why Jillian Cardona Founded Peace of Mind Planning

When Jillian became a mother, her perspective on the future changed.

She realized that nothing is more important than ensuring your family is cared for—no matter what happens. That realization inspired her to create a law practice dedicated to helping other families put thoughtful plans in place.

She has seen firsthand the transformation that happens when clients complete their estate plans—the visible relief, the relaxed shoulders, the genuine smiles.

That feeling of peace of mind is the true purpose behind every plan.
