Wealth Law, P.C. - Burbank, CA

Protecting Family Wealth and Preserving California Legacies

Preparing for life's uncertainties is one of the most critical steps an individual or family can take. Without proactive planning, California probate laws decide how assets are distributed, subjecting families to months of public court procedures, severe delays, and statutory attorney fees. Wealth Law, P.C., located at 303 North Glenoaks Boulevard, Suite 200 in Burbank, California, provides comprehensive estate planning and probate services designed to safeguard families and preserve wealth across generations. The firm was founded by attorney Shant Hagopian, an alumnus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a graduate of Harvard Law School admitted to the State Bar of California in 2015. Inspired by the sudden loss of a family member, attorney Hagopian established Wealth Law with a client-first mission: providing peace of mind through careful legal preparation and transparent counsel.

Comprehensive Estate Planning and Living Trusts

An estate plan is not merely a collection of forms; it is a vital legal structure designed to protect loved ones and honor personal values. Whether you are a homeowner, parent of young children, or business owner, Wealth Law creates tailored estate structures to keep your private affairs out of probate court. As dedicated wills, estate planning and probate lawyers, the practice guides clients through essential documents:

• Revocable living trusts: Designing private trusts that facilitate seamless asset distribution to beneficiaries without the need for court intervention or public filings.
• Wills and pour-over wills: Naming guardians for minor children and ensuring any assets not held directly in trust transfer smoothly upon passing.
• Durable power of attorney: Designating trusted agents to manage personal finances, real estate, and commercial affairs in the event of temporary or permanent incapacity.
• Advance healthcare directives: Outlining medical care instructions and appointing healthcare proxies to make critical decisions if you are unable to speak for yourself.
• Trust funding and deed transfers: Guiding homeowners and investors through retitling real estate, business interests, and financial accounts into their trusts.

Navigating California Probate Administration

When a family member passes away without a trust, their estate is frequently required to pass through the California probate court system. Probate in Los Angeles County often takes nine to eighteen months and incurs statutory fees calculated directly against the gross value of the estate. Wealth Law provides compassionate, detail-oriented probate guidance for executors and administrators. Attorney Shant Hagopian assists families in filing initial probate petitions, managing creditor claims, inventorying assets, and obtaining court orders for final distribution with minimal stress.
