Divorce
Guardianship
But we’ll be doing so much more. We’ll also help you formulate your plan and make the best guardianship choices.

Forgery
The question of will forgery or undue influence of a Testator is not a common question, but one that does come up periodically in any Estate Planner’s office. The movies have given people certain expectations when it comes to a death in the family and probating a will: a book-lined office, the entire family assembled for a formal reading of the will, shocked and angry reactions as a loved one’s fortune goes to an unknown and unlikely character…

Real Estate Litigation
Construction Litigation
Following the death of his mother in 2009, Timothy McGinty was told by the City of Santa Monica that he needed to fix some issues with his garage. He embarked on a plan to renovate the family home and entered into a construction agreement with Mr. Bouzaglou. Mr. McGinty’s autistic older sister, Kathleen McGinty, had lived in the house all of her life and was supported by her brother.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate Planning Education is an important part of LAElderLA. Our seminars inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to address their estate planning needs rather than shying away from them due to fear, and lack of information.
Wills
Y ou’ve likely also heard the term Living Will and wonder if you should have a Living Will instead. To clarify, a Living Will is an Advance Directive — but it takes effect only when the person for whom it is written is terminally ill. The State of California does not use Living Wills. California uses the Advance Health Care Directives for health care decisions instead.
Trusts
– Con Man Took Advantage of Disabled Man, Sister to Defraud Them of WWII-Era Santa Monica Family Home – LOS ANGELES (March 15, 2017) – This month California’s Second Appellate District, Division Two, Court of Appeal upheld an award of $21 million in punitive damages and $2.2 million in compensatory damages against building contractor Noam Bouzaglou, his shell corporation, Ness Adam, Inc. and attorney Andrew J. Stern who perpetrated a fraud against Kathleen and Tim McGinty, in order to obtain their modest family home in Santa Monica. Kathleen suffers from autism. Her brother suffered throughout his life from bipolar disorder, depression and substance addiction, and was getting by on his small monthly disability payment. Joseph Girard, principal at LA Elder Law, represented Kathleen McGinty and Jeanne Haworth, the current trustee for the McGinty estate, in the original case decided in favor of the plaintiffs in 2014. “Nationwide we know many elderly are the victims of financial fraud, and we know people with disabilities are victimized by crime at rates higher than the rest of the population, often the target of crime because of their disabilities,” said Girard. “This appellate decision affirmed the 2014 judgment that sent a very strong message with the $23 million award to would-be fraudsters looking to prey upon the disadvantaged and the elderly.” In 2006, Delores McGinty, Kathleen’s mother, set up a special needs trust for Kathleen’s benefit. The main asset of the trust was the 1,477 square foot single family home in Santa Monica, built by their father, a returning WWII veteran, for a few thousand dollars from a Sears Roebuck and Co. pre-cut home kit. Owned free and clear, the home was the residence for Delores and her daughter. Son Tim became the trustee after the death of his mother Delores in 2009 and moved […]
Power of Attorney
An Advance Health Care Directive is a special Power of Attorney specifically for health care purposes that defines your specific health care instructions, organ donation wishes, your physician, your burial.
Probate

Tax Law
The bad news is that estate tax law doesn’t appear to be settling down any time soon. We all know the estate tax was repealed in 2010, and then reinstated in 2011. And now, as this article from AARP mentions, “federal estate tax rates are slated to change again in 2013, unless Congress decides otherwise.” Furthermore, there are quite a few other mercurial tax laws that have a significant impact on estate planning, including the capital gains tax and the gift tax, to name just two. Both of these factors mean that the future of estate planning is still cloudy.
