Questions You Need To Answer When Choosing An Estate Planning Lawyer
Do they specialize in estate planning?
At Kavesh Minor & Otis, hereafter referred to as “KM&O”, estate planning is all that we do. We don’t just dabble in estate planning while practicing other areas of law.
Are they State Bar Certified Specialists?
Anyone can say they specialize in estate planning, but only an attorney who has passed an extra Bar examination and been reviewed by his or her fellow professionals may call him or herself a “State Bar Certified Specialist”. At KM&O, we have three Specialists on staff.
Have they been in business over 35 years and set up thousands of estate plans?
KM&O has been in business for over 35 years, all of which have been devoted exclusively to estate planning. During that time, KM&O has designed and built over 15,000 Living Trust estate plans, more than just about any other law firm in Southern California.
Have they handled thousands of estates and trusts after clients have passed away?
This is when an estate plan is truly tested! At KM&O, we have handled over 4,000 trusts and estates after people have passed and we build the knowledge gained from that unique level of experience into the custom design of your Living Trust plan.
Are they recognized leaders in the estate planning field?
KM&O has pioneered numerous innovations in estate planning, including the “Personal Asset TrustSM”, the “IRA Inheritance Trust®”, and the “Driver’s Manuals” for the Client, Trustee and Beneficiary. Furthermore, hundreds of estate planning attorneys from across the nation have paid to learn, license and use KM&O’s unique estate planning techniques and tools.
Have they been quoted as estate planning authorities in prestigious national publications?
KM&O’s supervising attorney, Philip Kavesh, has been frequently quoted as an authority in The Wall Street Journal, Consumer Reports magazine, as well as The Los Angeles Times, and has been interviewed on numerous television and radio shows.
