Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do Tarzana homeowners need a trust to avoid probate?

    If you own property in Tarzana, a living trust can help your heirs bypass probate court after your death. This saves time, legal costs, and preserves privacy. We help Tarzana residents decide whether a trust is right for them.

  • Is probate in Tarzana handled locally?

    Probate for Tarzana residents is handled through the Los Angeles County Superior Court, often at the Van Nuys or downtown Los Angeles location. Our firm frequently appears in these courts and can manage filings on your behalf.

  • Can you help with special needs trusts in Tarzana?

    Yes. If you have a loved one in Tarzana with disabilities, we can set up a special needs trust to protect government benefits while ensuring their long-term care. These trusts require specific legal language, and we’ll help you get it right.

  • What happens if someone in Tarzana dies without a will?

    If there’s no will, California’s intestate succession laws apply. That means a formula determines who inherits—often excluding close friends or unmarried partners. We assist Tarzana families with probate in these cases and help others avoid this outcome through planning.

  • I’m retiring in Tarzana. What estate planning should I have?

    Retirement is the perfect time to ensure your documents are in order. We recommend a will or trust, durable powers of attorney, and a health care directive. We’ll tailor your plan to your life, your family, and your assets in Tarzana.
