Gentrification and its Effects on the Black Community

October 13, 2020General, Black Family Wealth, Black Wealth

As neighborhoods change, some families get pushed out. Most people believe that displacement of families is the direct result of gentrification or new land development. However, the vast majority of poor neighborhoods across the country aren’t gentrifying. Outside of large bustling cities like New York, Washington and San Francisco, most poor places stay poor. Inglewood, CA, however, has recently joined the list of gentrifying cities. For African American residents who have spent decades in the … [Read more...] about Gentrification and its Effects on the Black Community

October 13, 2020General, Black Family Wealth, Black Wealth

Black Man Writing on a paper

Black wealth matters and there is a difference in the wealth that white families accumulate as opposed to their white counterparts. In the midst of the worst global pandemic the world has faced in over a century, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has exploded in America and even spurred similar protests across the globe. The year 2020 will undoubtedly go down in the history books as the year the U.S finally confronted issues related to police brutality, systemic racism, and “white … [Read more...] about Black Wealth: The Effects of White Families Accumulating More Wealth than Black Families

Storm Warning

Presented by Attorney Caprice L. Collins Blended families require special planning. Sometimes, the children from the prior marriage bond with the new spouse and the family moves forward in a happy, newly modified form. However, frequently, the new marriage brings conflict between the new spouse and the children of the prior marriage. Such is the case with the Sagers. In 1980, sports reporter Craig Sager married Lisa Gabel. They had three children, Craig, Jr., Kacy, and Krista. But, over … [Read more...] about Sager Family Shows Perils of Blended Families

Celebrating Veterans Day

November 7, 2017General

report

Each year we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th in the United States as a way to honor and remember veterans and victims of all wars. The date of November 11th was chosen because that is the day that World War I ended. As we get closer to Veterans Day this year, it seems a good time to discuss veteran benefits. If you are a veteran, a dependent of a veteran, or a surviving spouse of a veteran who gave his/her life for our country, you could be entitled to benefits of which you may be … [Read more...] about Celebrating Veterans Day

When Should I Use a California Durable Power of Attorney?

May 23, 2017General

California durable power of attorney

Creating a comprehensive estate plan usually requires you to incorporate estate planning documents and strategies that go beyond just a simple Last Will and Testament. One of the most common additions to an estate plan is a power of attorney. In fact, you may find that you create and execute several different powers of attorney during your lifetime.

How Business Owners Can Stay Motivated Every Day: Come to our Seminars

January 20, 2016General

Small-business-owner

One of the biggest challenge that business owners face is motivation. Yes, they are motivated enough to start their business but there is no one really on top of them telling them what to do, how to do it, why to do it. They need to figure it out on their own. Entrepreneurs need to motivate themselves each day to get out of bed and create the perfect business. One way is to take advantage of free educational programs offered by the LA Institute of Estate Planning Professionals.

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.”
