Advanced Health Care Directives

Privacy laws and liability issues have made it increasingly difficult for doctors and hospitals to discuss medical matters with family members – even a spouse or parent. Without an AHCD, you risk that it will not be your loved ones making decisions about your health care but rather the Courts or hospital.

Centrally located in the beautiful Miracle Mile

The Kramer Law Group, located on the historic Miracle Mile in Los Angeles, was founded upon the belief and desire that the practice of law, while serving our clients' needs to the highest professional standards, should be as mutually enjoyable as possible. Attorneys practicing with our law firm have outstanding academic  credentials, as well as experience at some of the most prominent law firms in the nation. Equipped with this background, we believe we are able to offer our clients the highest quality of work, along with the personal attention a client deserves and should expect.

The information on this website will acquaint you with some our firm's particular areas of practice including the preperation of Revocable Trusts (Living Trusts), Wills, Avanced Health Care Directives, and Probate. Our site has helpful atricles to provide you with some material for thought.

Estate Planning

Many people think that estate planning is simply the writing of a will. They plan their estate because they want to control who will receive their assets after they die, preferably with as little as possible going to legal fees and taxes. A good estate plan will also protect you in the event of your incapacity. It will let you - not the courts - keep control of your assets, as well as control of decisions about your medical care when you can no longer handle your own affairs.

Trust Administration

Trusts are not just for the wealthy. Anyone desiring to control when or how their assets are distributed following their death, should consider a revocable trust.

Probate

We can help you navigate the court system in a timely and effective manner. While probate is a clear and orderly process, it can be unnecessarily time consuming and expensive. In larger counties like Los Angeles, the process will customarily consume at least nine months, if not longer, and legal and executor fees typically are greater than comparable services rendered in the administration of a revocable trust.

Stephen Kramer and his associates have assisted my wife and me with all of our business and personal legal matters since the mid-1990s. They are, simply, the best. You might not expect a lawyer to be a decent, kind human being, but you'd be wrong. Mr. Kramer is a mensch, but he is still tougher than nails, and we are always happy to have him on our side.

My husband and I were very pleased with Stephen's thoroughness and his attention to detail. He's very professional and attentive. Thank you Kramer Law Group! We will definitely be back for all of our legal needs.
