Why Having an Estate Planning Specialist is Vital

Choosing a Living Trust attorney in Woodland Hills isn’t easy, nor should it be.

Estate Planning is a dynamic field that demands focused expertise and a highly specific skill set. Often, lawyers handle estate plans as a small side business and can’t stay current with ever-shifting California inheritance or “Death Tax” laws, not to mention federal changes on everything from trusts to taxes to IRA laws.

To keep up, every Woodland Hills estate attorney in our practice spends a lot of time each month on professional development—making sure to attend webinars and seminars when they aren’t leading them.

You need to give your choice of Woodland Hills probate lawyer serious consideration. And please, don’t depend on some online trust mill. Creating a Living Trust is too complex for a robot, and every trust requires extremely personal customization, no matter how simple you think your situation may be.

Why Local Really Matters

Having a local office also matters a lot when it comes to choosing your Estate Planning attorney in Woodland Hills.

Estate Planning is a deeply personal relationship. While the world moves to video conferencing, we know you will always want a Woodland Hills attorney with a local office for signings and paperwork.

Just as importantly, only a full-time Woodland Hills estate attorney will maintain the right estate-related contacts with local accountants and financial planners to work together for you.
