You may want to pay a little more attention to those letters from the bank, especially one notifying you of a change of address you didn’t make.

In a real case out of New York, a bank letter was the first clue that something was wrong, ultimately uncovering an alleged scheme involving fraudulent documents and a family home.

In our latest article, we look at what happened, how the fraud was discovered, and practical steps families can take to help protect one of an estate’s most valuable assets.

The Billable Bean is back and spilling the beans on what happens after someone passes away.

Trust administration, probate, assets, creditors…there can be a lot to navigate, and what happens next often depends on the planning that was done beforehand.

That’s where a well-prepared estate plan can make all the difference, giving your loved ones a roadmap when they need it most.

A lot can change in a year!

Not too long ago, Oudey Tadros and Orel Shilon were law clerks at LSA. Now, they’re halfway through their first year as attorneys, and have plenty to reflect on.

We caught up with them about what’s surprised them, what’s challenged them, the moments that have made them proud, and what they’re looking forward to next.

Safe to say, they’re off to a pretty great start. 👏

The Great Wealth Transfer sounds simple: one generation passes wealth to the next. But the actual transfer? That may be the easy part.

We asked our attorneys what they think the real challenge will be—from preparing the next generation and keeping plans current to navigating family dynamics and everything that happens before (and after) the transfer.

Some lessons last far beyond the classroom. 🎓

This year, Partner R. Zebulon “Zeb” Law enters his 20th year teaching at Chapman University Fowler School of Law, where he currently teaches Estate & Gift Tax and Wills & Trusts.

For two decades, Zeb has brought his real-world experience into the classroom, sharing his knowledge, mentoring future attorneys, and helping prepare students for the careers ahead of them.

We’re proud to celebrate 20 years of teaching, mentorship, and making an impact on the next generation of attorneys. Congratulations, Professor Law! 👏

You picked your emergency contact…but have you picked who can make healthcare decisions for you? 👀

The Billable Bean is spilling the beans on Advance Healthcare Directives and why they’re not just something to think about “when you’re older.”

If you’re 18+, this one’s for you.

Because knowing who you trust to speak for you when you can’t? That’s a pretty important bean to have in order.

Big news for our very own Matt Stein! 💙

After serving as Vice Chair, Matt has officially stepped into the role of Board Chair of Alzheimer’s Orange County, beginning a two-year term this July.

We love seeing Matt continue his involvement with an organization doing such meaningful work for individuals and families throughout Orange County—and we couldn’t be prouder to see Matt continue making an impact beyond the walls of LSA.

Congratulations, Matt! 👏

New house? New baby? Newly married? Big financial change?

Your estate plan might need a little attention, too. 👀

This week, we asked our attorneys to finish the sentence:

“One of the biggest mistakes I see is people forgetting to update their estate plan after…”

Because the plan you created five years ago may not make sense for the life you’re living today.

From major milestones to changing family dynamics, our attorneys weighed in on the moments that should have you thinking: “Wait…when was the last time I looked at my estate plan?”

Lunch was served…along with some pretty valuable tax planning insights!

We recently welcomed the Vance Wealth team to the LSA office for a Lunch & Learn focused on tax planning strategies and the ways thoughtful planning can help clients make smarter decisions for the future.

It was a great afternoon of sharing ideas, asking questions, and learning from one another...exactly the kind of collaboration we value!🤝
