Serving Agoura Hills families for over 40 years from our Westlake Village office.
TESTIMONIALS
We're proud to stand behind our work.
Local Roots, Board-Certified Expertise
Agoura Hills residents have choices when it comes to wills and trusts, but not all firms bring the same combination of local roots and specialized credentials.
Working with our team means:
- A board-certified specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law leading your planning and administration
- A family-origin law firm with deep ties to the Conejo Valley and long-standing relationships with local professionals
- Experience coordinating both LA and Ventura County matters for clients whose lives cross county lines
We also regularly work with Agoura Hills financial planners, CPAs, and insurance professionals so your estate planning stays aligned with your broader financial picture.
Planning Around Real Agoura Hills Concerns
We commonly help Agoura Hills clients with:
- Home-focused planning
Homeowners who want a living trust lawyer to help protect their house from probate and coordinate title, mortgage considerations, and future transfers. - Growing families
Parents who need wills, trusts, and guardianship designations so children are protected if something unexpected happens. - Mid-career and pre-retirement planning
Clients looking to update old documents, address potential tax changes, and coordinate planning with business interests or stock-based compensation tied to LA employers.
Our goal is to be the Agoura Hills trust lawyer and estate planning partner you can turn to as life evolves, not just for a one-time set of documents.
Agoura Hills Client FAQs
Can you handle both LA County and Ventura County cases from your Westlake office?
Yes. Many Agoura Hills clients have connections to both counties. We regularly handle estate planning and post-death administration that involves LA County courts, Ventura County courts, or both. We help you understand which court is involved and how that affects the process.
How quickly can an Agoura Hills client usually get documents in place?
Timing depends on complexity, but many standard estate plans can move from initial meeting to signed documents within a few weeks once decisions and information are provided. Urgent situations can sometimes be prioritized. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your first consultation.
Do you coordinate with local financial advisors and CPAs?
Yes. With your permission, we work closely with Agoura Hills-area financial planners, CPAs, and other advisors to ensure your estate plan, investments, and tax strategy are aligned. That coordination helps reduce conflicts between your legal documents and your financial reality.
Can you work with out-of-state heirs or family members?
Absolutely. Many Agoura Hills residents have children or beneficiaries who live out of state. We frequently coordinate meetings by phone or video, share documents securely, and guide out-of-area heirs through probate or trust administration without requiring constant travel.
Do I have to come into the office for every step, or can some things be handled remotely?
While certain signings may need to be in person, much of the planning, review, and follow-up can be handled by phone, email, or video. This is especially helpful for clients with tight schedules or family members who live outside the area.
