FIND FREEDOM FROM YOUR BIGGEST WORRY OFFERING CONTINUITY FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

You’ve probably noticed how passionate our attorneys are about estate planning. It’s because they know how important family is. Just like you, they have families they care about deeply and want to protect. An estate plan is like a built-in cushion of comfort and security for all of you. Knowing that you’ll be taken care of and your offspring won’t want for anything after you’re gone sounds like an important sense of security to have, doesn’t it? As attorney Art Swerdloff says, “My vision is that every family I serve can look to the future with optimism and excitement knowing that, no matter what, they are well-protected." Estate planning offers continuity of life that spans generations, from your grandmother all the way down to her 4-month-old granddaughter, who doesn’t yet know what life has in store for her. At the

least, that baby can grow up with a cushion when an estate plan is in place.

Working with an experienced attorney can help you and your family come together to create a plan that meets your needs and keeps your interests at the forefront. Attorneys ask in-depth questions and think of areas you may not have considered to make sure your plan is comprehensive. An estate plan can also help save money by making sure the estate doesn’t go to probate and by minimizing estate taxes. It can even provide for long-term care in the event of a disability. In the state of California, if a person passes away without an estate plan, California law will determine the beneficiaries of your estate. This could mean everything the goes to a spouse, children, parents, siblings, or other relative. If no relatives exist, the State of California becomes

the beneficiary. Don’t let the honor of bestowing your estate fall on someone else. Start planning today. When you’re looking for an attorney to help you create your plan, Mr. Swerdloff is a specialist in this area.
