Celebrating Veterans Day

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...]

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.

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

January 20, 2016General

One of the biggest challenge that business owners face is motivation.

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. That takes … [Read more...]

What an Unfunded Trust Is

September 3, 2014General

When setting up a trust, preparing the documents does not finish the process. If the person who sets up the trust fails to properly transfer their assets into it, it can become an underfunded or unfunded. This lack of proper funding can lead to a failure of a person’s estate plan, and also increases the potential for disputes throughout the process of probating the estate.

Testimonials

Ms. Collins and her team has earned my trusts and respect. They showed professionalism, attention to details and made me feel like I am family. It is truly reassuring to know that my family and I won’t he on our own after the documents are executed.

Saida H.–
My overall experience with Collins Law Firm has been great. The process of estate planning was thoroughly explained with personal care and concern. The entire staff is very personable and eliminate any intimidation. I feel very relieved to have completed this process and I am very comfortable in knowing that Collins Law Group is available to us for any needed help.

Mattie S.–
We received excellent and clearly explained directions with respect to the creation of our living trust and the required follow up actions. Caprice is easy to work with and she inspires full confidence in her abilities. We continue to work with her as we review changes in our lives and the adjustments required to insure that our trust does what we want it to do.

John C.–
Attorney Collins was referred to us by a friend who had a living trust prepared for his family. We attended one of her very informative seminars on living trusts. Shortly there after we had out trust done.  She is very thorough, precise and follows up to ensure we’re satisfied with our estate plan. The staff was wonderful as well.

Tony B.–
We’ve had Living Trusts done by two different attorneys over the last 12 years. After retaining the Collins Law Group, it became clear that the others weren’t up to the same standard. Attorney Collins and her staff have an eye for detail that was absent from the other firms we used. It was the difference between dining at a gourmet restaurant, and a fast food drive-thru. The Collins Law Group is terrific at putting you at ease, and makes the process relatable and easy-to-understand. After watching other family members go through the ugly, hot mess of Probate, we definitely feel safe and in control of our estate and the legacy we’ll leave behind for our children.
