Estate planning is about more than distributing assets after death. It is about protecting your family, preserving your wealth, and ensuring your wishes are honored during your lifetime and beyond. The estate planning attorneys at Tribun Legal Associates help individuals and families in Los Angeles create comprehensive estate plans that address wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and probate matters.
Whether you are a young professional establishing your first estate plan or a retiree updating an existing one, our attorneys take the time to understand your unique circumstances and goals. We craft personalized strategies that minimize taxes, avoid probate delays, and provide clear instructions for the management of your assets and care.
A will is a legal document that specifies how your assets should be distributed after your death, and it must go through the probate process. A trust, on the other hand, holds assets during your lifetime and transfers them to beneficiaries upon your death, often avoiding probate entirely. Trusts also provide greater privacy and can include provisions for managing assets if you become incapacitated. Our attorneys help you determine which option, or combination of both, best serves your estate planning goals.
A power of attorney is a legal document that designates a trusted person to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. A durable power of attorney for finances allows your agent to manage bank accounts, pay bills, and handle investments, while an advance healthcare directive specifies your medical care preferences and appoints someone to make medical decisions for you.
Asset protection strategies include establishing irrevocable trusts, family limited partnerships, and other legal structures that shield your wealth from creditors, lawsuits, and excessive taxation. Our estate planning attorneys work with you to develop a comprehensive plan that preserves your assets for your children and grandchildren while complying with all applicable laws.
