My father was in poor health a few months ago and we often talkedabout a living will/trust and or estate plan, but never actually setsomething up. My dad has a considerable estate(roughly 4M) that neededa plan so we met with a few estate planners and attorneys. We settledon a firm in Santa Monica called Strategic. They are tax and estatelawyers and helped us with a valuation of my dad's estate, as well asdevelop strategies to set up the legal instruments. It is all onpaper, and this comes as a GREAT relief to us. The attorney handlingour case, Mouris Behboud, worked in the Estate division of the IRS andis most capable. He's your man for any tax or estate issue.
