Estate Planning

California Estate Planning Basics

Woodland Hills Attorney Helping California Families Plan

Although we in southern California live busy lives, it is critical to take the time to plan for the future well being of our children and other loved ones. Having an estate plan (will, trust, and health care directive) is a way to provide support and loving guidance to those around you if you should die or become disabled.

  • A Will designates your Personal Representative / Executor and directs the disposition of your property. If you have children (even stepchildren or adopted children), your Will designates a Guardian for the children if you become unable to care for them yourself.
  • A Durable Power-of-Attorney allows your Designated Representative to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated.
  • A Living Will (Advance Health Care Directive) provides direction regarding medical treatments such as life support or feeding tubes in the event you are not able to communicate.
  • Trusts can provide an extra level of financial protection with regard to taxes for your estate and allow detailed planning for special needs of family members or long term elder care for you, your parents, or other loved ones.

I am dedicated to helping you & your family with all your estate planning needs. When you call the Law Offices of Jonathan Leventhal, you will speak directly with me, not a paralegal. Call to set up a consultation. 818-347-5800.
