Whether you want to prepare your estate plan before you pass away or your loved one's estate is going through probate to distribute their assets, you will need an attorney at your side that will work closely with you to understand your wants, needs, and goals. I will create a strategy that puts you in the best position possible.
Even though I've been running my firm since 2008, I have worked extensively with clients who need to establish wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, as well as guiding families through the probate process to make sure their loved one's assets and belongings are distributed based on what they would have wanted before they passed.
My desire to help people through the difficult processes of estate planning can provide you with peace of mind. It can be difficult to think about what will happen to your belongings when you pass or deal with a loved one's will after they pass. I will strive to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible for everyone involved.

Many of us have no doubt seen ads on TV touting the benefits of reverse mortgages for seniors. A reverse mortgage taps into the equity in one’s home to provide either a lump sum, a monthly payment, or a line of credit—thus, you’re paid instead of having to pay the lender.
The death of a spouse is one of the most painful experiences in life. Not only is it emotionally taxing but can also create financial uncertainty. Many people assume that the surviving spouse automatically inherits everything.
I have nearly three decades of experience helping people through their estate planning and probate cases. My office, based in Los Angeles, California, has given numerous people a new sense of security when planning their future.
Though no one wants to think about dying, establishing wills, trusts, and powers of attorney can save you — and your loved ones — time, money, and stress as your estate goes through probate. With an adequate estate plan in place, your loved ones can avoid legal complications and focus on what matters most.
If you're an executor for a loved one's will and need guidance on settling your loved one's estate, I can help you. If your loved one failed to establish an estate plan before they passed, many of those decisions will be put into the hands of the courts, which may not reflect what your loved one would have wanted.
