There are several options for filing for bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is one of the most common. Chapter 7 is particularly suited for those with limited income. Chapter 11 is a viable option for small businesses and individuals with substantial assets and debts. Tailored for entities that can still generate revenue but need time to restructure financially. Lastly, Chapter 13 allows you to keep your assets and repay debts.

As we celebrate Independence Day, it's crucial to prioritize safety for ourselves. Here are six safety reminders. Have a wonderful July 4th holiday!

Approximately 1 in 10 older individuals (aged 60 and above) suffer from some form of abuse each year. Many adult children do not live with their parents and may be unaware of what may be going on. Many of these cases remain unreported. Elder abuse is not limited to one form of abuse; it encompasses a range of harmful behaviors including physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and neglect. The signs can often be subtle and varied, making it crucial for all of us to stay informed and vigilant #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay #elderawareness #woodlandhillsestatelawyer #livingtrust

1. Naming a guardian could be the most important part of your will. If you pass away while your child is a minor, the first issue to be addressed is who will assume responsibility for your child’s care. If you don’t name a guardian for your child in the will, the courts may decide this question for you, and the guardian might not be the person you would choose. Selecting a trusted guardian is in many ways more important at this stage than deciding how to pass any assets you own. 2. Name an executor you trust. To ensure your child does receive all that you have allocated when she comes of age, choose a trustworthy executor. Many people choose a family member, but it’s just as acceptable to appoint a trusted attorney to handle your estate. Typically, an attorney has no emotional attachment to the family, which might seem bad, but usually results in less potential conflict. 3. Named beneficiaries on your financial accounts may override the will. Many accounts allow you to name a beneficiary. When you pass away, the funds go to the beneficiary named on the account, even if your will states otherwise. If you’re creating a will with your child in mind (or adding the child to an existing will), you should review your investment and bank accounts with your financial advisor to make sure there are no inconsistencies when naming beneficiaries. It’s also a good time to check retirement account and life insurance beneficiary designations with your financial advisor and your attorney. 4. A will is not always the right document for your goals. When naming your child as a beneficiary, a will only goes into effect after you die. If your will leaves property outright to a minor child, the court will step in and hold the assets until your child turns 18. Most 18 year olds lack the maturity to handle even a modest estate, so we don’t recommend outright inheritance for minor children. Questions?
