Estate Planning Attorney Serving Torrance

For adults at any stage of life, from young families to burgeoning professionals to seniors nearing retirement, estate planning is a critical step in preparing for the future. It provides the legal means for establishing your wishes for the future, protecting your assets and investments, mitigating tax liabilities and planning for contingencies that may arise. Estate planning is particularly vital for high net worth individuals with large or complex estates. In such situations, your estate plan must be far more extensive than a single cookie-cutter will or trust document. To be fully effective, your estate plan must address myriad fact-specific issues, including:

  • Tax mitigation issues
  • Asset protection goals
  • Medi-Cal planning
  • Probate avoidance
  • Privacy concerns
  • Health care and end-of-life wishes
  • Property distribution decisions

A comprehensive estate plan should include various legal tools to achieve these objectives. Importantly, each document should be carefully tailored to fit your needs and goals for the future.
