The attorneys at Karlin & Peebles are not only experts in the law, they also bring proven judgment and perspective to each case. They invest time in understanding our clients’ individual objectives and creatively and carefully tailoring solutions to achieve them. Our lawyers have over 50 years of combined experience providing estate planning services, and Partner Jane Peebles is a Southern California Super Lawyer in the field of Estate Planning.
We represent high net-worth individuals and families, and in addition to this core client base, we also represent a number of entrepreneurs. We frequently represent clients facing complex or novel situations and those who can benefit from the sophisticated planning techniques we employ. We do not impose a minimum net-worth requirement, preferring to serve a range of clients whose needs vary at different stages of life.
We help our clients develop their thoughts on how and when to transfer wealth to children and grandchildren. Because of the rapid increase in many of our clients’ net worth, this transfer issue has become especially acute in recent years. Besides drafting trusts with terms appropriate for limiting and protecting the flow of wealth to children, we work with families to involve the children in family philanthropy.
In addition to fundamental estate planning techniques, we have considerable background and experience in the following areas:
We work with our clients’ accountants, investment advisors, foreign counsel and other members of their professional team to provide coordinated planning to minimize estate, gift and income taxation while meeting personal planning objectives.
