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

Local estate-planning education

A practical overview for West Hills families.

West Hills families often want straightforward guidance about protecting a home, naming decision-makers, and leaving clear instructions for children or other beneficiaries. The workshop explains what each document does and what must happen after signing.

The West Hills page focuses on trust funding, powers of attorney, health-care directives, and avoiding gaps between the plan and the way assets are actually titled.

Topics especially relevant to this workshop

  • Transferring a residence to the trust when appropriate
  • Coordinating bank and investment accounts
  • Naming agents for financial and health-care decisions
  • Planning for children or beneficiaries who need management assistance
  • Reviewing an existing trust after a move, death, or family change
