​

John also seeks to provide clients with the operational excellence and outstanding client service his UC Davis MBA professors taught him. He has extensive experience in corporate operations and brings a project management and team approach to his fiduciary service.

 

He has one of the larger fiduciary teams in California and their experience with trusts of all types, estates and probate, health care agent, conservatorships, as well as all the other roles that a fiduciary team can serve in, are second to none.

KENDALL HOMER

Fiduciary

After 39 years as a general dentist, Kendall became a licensed fiduciary to continue his lifelong goal to help others improve their quality of life.  He brings with him the duty to always put the interests of the client before all else.  Having a son living with autistic spectrum disorder, he became interested in the fiduciary field after observing the challenges faced by people with disabilities as they make their journey through life.

 

Special needs trusts are Kendall’s primary emphasis currently as he gains experience in other areas of fiduciary practice.

 

Kendall lives with his two adult sons and loves to play tennis and be outdoors staying active.

SOO LEE DAVIS

Associate Fiduciary

With nearly 30 years of global service as a healthcare administrator in the U.S. Army, Soo Lee has now made Sacramento her permanent home and embarked on a new chapter as a licensed professional fiduciary. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and holder of an MBA from Indiana University, she brings seasoned leadership, operational rigor, and a deep sense of duty to her fiduciary practice.
 

As the only child of an Army veteran and a mother born abroad, Soo Lee has personally navigated the challenges of supporting aging parents from afar. After her father’s passing in late 2022, she gained invaluable experience in end-of-life care, financial management, and the essential role of community support. She went on to coordinate her mother’s relocation from Texas to Sacramento, where she continues to oversee her well-being. This journey has strengthened Soo Lee’s dedication to helping others through similar life transitions—with empathy, clear guidance, and unwavering professionalism.
 

Outside her fiduciary work, Soo Lee is deeply engaged in community service. She serves on the board of a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for underserved youth and is an active member of the Governor’s Military Council, advising on strategies to strengthen and sustain military operations across California.
