Guardianship
Once all the estate-planning issues have been handled, we continue to advise trust and estate fiduciaries and beneficiaries through the administration and final distribution of the estate or trust. We advise trustees, executors and other fiduciaries on the administration of probate and non-probate estates, trusts, conservatorships and guardianships.

Wrongful Death
A. Yes. It is important to have a "pour over" will under which any assets not transferred to the trust during your lifetime can pass to the trust through probate if necessary. The "pour over" will is a safety net to take care of overlooked assets and assets which, by their nature, cannot be transferred to a trust during your lifetime, such as claims for wrongful death.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
The legal issues facing a non-profit organization are often similar to those of for-profit entities. These include employment issues, contracts and leases, and regulatory and finance issues. However, when counseling non-profit entities, an attorney must be sensitive to differences in corporate governance and the fiduciary obligations of officers and directors. For example, the fiduciary obligation of a non-profit board are different from those of a for-profit board of directors.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Los Angeles Real Estate, Trust and Estate Planning, Business Incorporation. Aikenhead Cipes & Supanich -- Frequently Asked Questions
Wills
A. Yes. Wills and trusts will still be needed to assure that your property goes to those you wish to receive it. Trusts will still be needed to avoid costly and time-consuming probate proceedings. In the event of federal estate tax repeal, there will likely be only a limited ability for a step up in basis. This means that in many cases, a beneficiary will take property from a decedent with its original basis and, accordingly, will have greater potential liability for capital gains tax on sale of that property. In that case, your will and trust can direct how the benefits of any available step up in basis is to be allocated among your beneficiaries.
Trusts
A. The transfer of property to a revocable living trust will not cause a Proposition 13 increase in property taxes. The key to avoiding such problems is to properly prepare and submit a Preliminary Change of Ownership Form with the trust funding deed to the county recorder.
Power of Attorney
A. In California, the document by which a person protects against unwanted prolongation of the process of dying is called an Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD), also sometimes called a Power of Attorney for Health Care. In an AHCD a person...
Probate
Mr. Aikenhead is a member of the California Bar Association (Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law and Real Property Sections), and the Los Angeles County Bar Association (Trusts & Estates Section). He is admitted to practice before all California State Courts, the United States District Court (Central and Northern Districts), and the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit.

Tax Law
Q. I have heard that the estate tax exemption is now "portable," meaning I can "inherit" my spouse’s exemption and use it and my own exemption to avoid estate tax at my own death. Does this mean I don’t have to do estate or tax planning any more?
