Hidden Hills Living Trust Workshop

Educational estate-planning information presented by Sirkin Law Group, PC for residents of Hidden Hills and nearby communities.

Local estate-planning education

A practical overview for Hidden Hills families.

Hidden Hills families may have substantial real property, privately held businesses, valuable personal property, or long-term goals for children and grandchildren. A well-designed plan should be clear enough for future fiduciaries to follow and flexible enough to address changing circumstances.

This page focuses on privacy-minded planning, orderly asset management, careful trustee selection, and the practical work required to keep a trust current and properly funded.

Topics especially relevant to this workshop

  • Planning for privately held or family business interests
  • Coordinating multiple properties and ownership entities
  • Selecting trustees with appropriate judgment and administrative ability
  • Structuring distributions for beneficiaries at appropriate ages or stages
  • Preparing instructions and records that future trustees can actually use

What the workshop covers

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

Living trust and will

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.
