Trusts Helping Protect Your Legacy

Santa Clarita Trusts Attorney

Helping Clients Preserve Assets for the Future

If you plan to leave your hard-earned properties and assets to your loved ones after you pass away but you don’t want them to endure the hassle of the probate process, then you should meet with our experienced legal team at O'Hare Law Office to discuss selecting and setting up a trust as part of your estate planning strategy.

What Is a Trust?

When you use a trust to protect your assets, you are creating a separate legal entity to hold and invest money into for another party’s benefit. The person who will inherit the contents of the trust is called the beneficiary.

The person in charge of administering the trust is called the trustee.

Most trusts explicitly state that the trustee must:

  • Wisely invest the funds in bonds
  • Certificates of deposit (CDs)
  • Or other low-risk investments

If the trustee makes smart financial decisions, the beneficiary will get the maximum return when the trust is administered. Many of the clients we represent also establish trusts to leave gifts for charities and nonprofit organizations that are important to them.

What They Have to Say About Our Estate Planning Services
    "Working with Edward and his Team to create my Living Trust was incredible!"
    Working with Edward and his Team to create my Living Trust was incredible! He's very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Edward took the time to thoroughly explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. All of my questions were answered and in the end I was so glad that I decided to work with Edward! I would highly recommend O'Hare Law Office for any of your Estate Planning needs.

    "Mr. O'Hare was very attentive and engaging as we spoke..."
    The O'Hare law office was fantastic from 1st call to the last signature. I had a great introductory call with Allison who was very attentive and knowledgeable. Mr. O'Hare was very attentive and engaging as we spoke, and he provided me fantastic guidance to complete a plan and legal documents tailored to my needs. Mr. O'Hare and his staff were professional and kind. This was my 3rd experience in estate planning and by far the best. I highly recommend.

    "[Allison] did it with kindness, care and genuine concern."
    I called O'Hare Law Offices because their ad kept popping up and I needed advice on how to go about some estate planning questions for an out of state family member. A gracious receptionist answered the call and after a short explanation of why I was calling , placed me on a brief hold and connected me to [the office manager] named Allison. I described the situation in detail and Allison assured me I was moving in the right direction. She was patient with my questions, answered them knowledgeably, eliminated confusing lawyer-speak, and gave useful recommendations as to how to proceed as the assets are in a different state. Although she was unfamiliar with this particular state's laws, she offered good options for how to move forward. She did it with kindness, care and genuine concern. I would highly recommend contacting their office and speaking with her!

    "Edward is very knowledgable and patient when answering all your questions, no matter how many times you ask."
    Edward is wonderful!! I was looking for an attorney who does irrevocable trusts. I heavily like to compare qualified candidates and their rates, so I had called many law offices and the attorneys I spoke with either didn't have good attitudes/weren't personable (which, why would I give my business to them?!) or, they were unreasonably too expensive. Edward and all of his staff are so friendly and welcoming! Edward is very knowledgable and patient when answering all your questions, no matter how many times you ask. His rates are also very reasonable. After discussing our situation, he told us we didn't even need the irrevocable trust. He didn't try to upsell us, which he so easily could have. He listens carefully to your situation and gives you what you need. Nothing more, nothing less. He is an honest man, and genuinely loves helping his clients. It's always a pleasure going to his office! Don't waste your time! Just go to Edward!

    "He was extremely patient and answered my many questions no matter how many times I asked the same question."
    I had absolutely no idea about anything related to a living trust. He walked me through everything. It was a simple and quick process. He was extremely patient and answered my many questions no matter how many times I asked the same question. His fee was much more reasonable than other lawyers I had interviewed. Thank you, Edward!!!!!!
    - Carol F.
    "He is not only professional and respectful but very easy to talk to."
    Planning and making final arrangements can be sad, confusing, and stressful. Attorney Edward O’Hare makes it such a smooth process. He is not only professional and respectful but very easy to talk to. He helped me navigate through the confusing decisions that needed to be made, and was always available for me if I had any questions. His rates are extremely reasonable. The end product is presented so professionally I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve dealt with other estate attorneys in the past and he by far exceeded my expectations.

    "I haven’t spent a lot of time with attorneys in my day, but I’d recommend Edward O’Hare to anybody looking to create a living trust, especially in the law-addled state of California."
    Edward and Allison immediately made my wife and I feel comfortable with their professionalism, understanding, and abundant knowledge on estate planning and living wills and trusts. I haven’t spent a lot of time with attorneys in my day, but I’d recommend Edward O’Hare to anybody looking to create a living trust, especially in the law-addled state of California. If you want your loved ones to avoid probate on your hard-earned assets, then make yourself an appointment with Edward today. I even recommended him to my own dear mother who lives 450 miles away.

    "He worked with our schedule, and his thoughtfulness and willingness to not only meet but EXCEED, our needs was refreshing!"
    We are so grateful for Edward for completing our Estate Planning documents. I reached out to Edward after quarantine began and was expecting to wait a long time for a consult and turn-around. Much to my surprise, Edward spoke to me over the phone within a couple of days and then created our documents within just a few days thereafter. He worked with our schedule, and his thoughtfulness and willingness to not only meet but EXCEED, our needs was refreshing! As an attorney myself, I appreciated his professionalism and drive to serve his clients. You can tell right off the bat that he genuinely has his client's needs at heart. Thank you Edward for giving us the peace of mind we needed. By the way, his rates are reasonable! I highly recommend him for all your estate planning needs. Don’t put if off any longer!!!
