Trusted estate planning and business law for Simi Valley families and business owners, from a local attorney who has served Ventura County since 1997.
Clear guidance without the jargon, so you always know where you stand.
Simi Valley families tend to stay, and many of the homes here have been owned for decades. The Flaig Law Firm has served families across Ventura County since 1997, and Simi Valley clients are among the ones who have said so in public.
Simi Valley estates are administered through Ventura County Superior Court. A funded living trust keeps your family out of that court process, and a trust that is reviewed every few years keeps doing the job it was written for.
You work directly with Donald W. Flaig, from the first conversation to the last signature. The first consultation is free and there is no obligation.
If you have an existing living trust but have not had it reviewed over the past 5 years, now is a great time to get a new set of eyes on it.
Whether you are writing a first plan for a young family in Wood Ranch or reviewing an existing living trust, the work is the same: plain-English guidance, every document explained, and a plan you understand before you sign it.
Simi Valley is in Ventura County, so an estate without a trust is settled through Ventura County Superior Court in Ventura, a long way from home for every hearing.
Laws on property tax, retirement accounts and trustee powers have all changed in recent years. A review is quick.
Since 2021, a child who inherits a home keeps the parents’ low property tax base only if they move in. For families planning to pass down a Simi Valley home, that changes the math. How Prop 19 works.
