What the workshop covers

The documents—and the follow-through.

The program is designed to explain both the legal planning documents and the practical steps that make them useful.

Living trust and will

Understand the different roles of the trust and pour-over will, including what each document is intended to accomplish.

Incapacity planning

Discuss powers of attorney, health-care directives, and continuity of management if you cannot act personally.

Trust funding

Learn why ownership and beneficiary designations should be reviewed after the documents are signed.

Successor trustees

Consider judgment, availability, recordkeeping, family dynamics, and the need for alternate choices.

Beneficiary planning

Explore outright, staged, or continuing distributions depending on a beneficiary’s age and circumstances.

Plan reviews

Identify life and financial changes that may justify an amendment, restatement, or broader review.

Common questions

Encino workshop FAQ

Is this workshop individual legal advice?

No. The workshop provides general California estate-planning education. Individual advice requires review of your family, property, existing documents, and goals.

Can I attend if I already have a trust?

Yes. Many participants attend because they want to understand an older plan, trust funding, successor-trustee choices, or whether changes in family and assets should be reviewed.

Are online workshops available?

Workshop format and availability may vary. Use the request form or call the firm to ask about in-person, online, or private educational options.

Does submitting a request create an attorney-client relationship?

No. A relationship begins only after the firm agrees to representation and the required engagement process is completed.
