Woodland Hills Estate Planning Attorney

San Fernando Valley firm advises on wills, trusts and probate issues

No one can predict the future, but with sound planning guided by an experienced attorney, you can see that you and your loved ones are well prepared for whatever comes along. At Kenneth W. Drake, Inc. in Woodland Hills, I am a California attorney with more than 40 years of legal experience.

Drawing on this background, I advise San Fernando Valley residents on a wide array of estate planning and probate concerns. Whether you're looking to draft a will, establish a trust, address long-term care funding or steer an estate through the probate process, my firm can help you accomplish your objectives. 

California lawyer assists with healthcare directives and power of attorney documents

Along with enforceable instructions for the distribution of assets, comprehensive estate planning should also include the preparation of healthcare directives and power of attorney documents to avert confusion and conflict during an absence or medical emergency. When dealing with such important responsibilities, you should work with a lawyer who meets the following descriptions:

• Respected — Estate planning issues require careful attention over a long period of time, so you should retain an attorney who has been trusted by clients and colleagues for decades. I have earned an AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell®, a recognition of my legal ability and ethics from attorneys familiar with my work.

• Focused — My practice concentrates on matters relating to the preservation and distribution of assets. Accordingly, I am on top of any changes in the law that can affect my clients. No matter how complex your specific challenge might seem, my firm can help you find the optimal solution.

• Dedicated — Regardless of the specific concern, I work closely with each client, making sure their estate plans are tailored to their circumstances and goals, and suggesting options they might not have considered.

At all times, my firm’s mission is to make a positive difference for fellow members of the San Fernando Valley community by helping them achieve financial and emotional security.
