Standing Strong for LA Families: Protecting Legacies Amid Wildfire Recovery

January 23, 2025Asset Protection, Estate Planning, Caregiver, Giving Back, Family

At Collins Law Group, we don’t just see the devastation caused by the wildfires—we feel it, deeply and personally. These fires have taken so much from our community—homes lost in Alta Dena, families displaced in the Palisades, and the heartbreaking pain of one of our own trusted attorneys losing two homes in the blaze.

But even amidst this heartache, one thing shines brighter than ever: the strength of our community. Through every challenge, we come together. We support one another. And we rebuild, stronger than before.

If you’re a property owner in the Palisades or Alta Dena—or have family who owned property in these areas—now is the time to take action to protect your legacy and your family’s future. Whether it’s making insurance claims, updating an outdated trust, or safeguarding your family’s estate, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

This isn’t just about legal documents—it’s about ensuring that your family’s story, dreams, and legacy are never left vulnerable to uncertainty.

Call Collins Law Group today at (310) 677-9787 and let us help you take the next steps. We’re here to guide you, protect you, and ensure that your legacy endures for generations.

We also believe in the power of coming together as a community—not just as legal advocates, but as neighbors and friends. That’s why we’ve gathered these essential resources for evacuees and those impacted by the fires:

Testimonials

Client Review
August 19, 2020
    

“My mother told me about the Collins Law Group and I must say, the entire experience has been a real pleasure. Although I was nervous at first, the Collins Law Group staff put me at ease with their friendliness and knowledge. I didn’t realize how hard it could be on your family and loved ones left behind if you die without any planning or directions in place for them. My biggest concern was making sure my elderly mother would be provided for and taken care of if something happened to me. I have been a caregiver for her for 12 years, so this planning was crucially important. I had previously made a living trust for myself on Legal Zoom but there is no comparison to the level of service and professionalism that Collins Law Group embodies. Attorney Collins and her staff provides excellent service and it will take a large burden off of my family when they need guidance at the time of my passing.”
