Trusted estate planning and business law for Ventura 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.
Ventura is the county seat, home to the courthouse where Ventura County estate cases are heard. The Flaig Law Firm has served Ventura County since 1997, helping families keep their estates out of that courthouse and helping owners build businesses that last.
Ventura estates settled by the court go through Ventura County Superior Court at the Hall of Justice on Victoria Avenue. It is public and it takes time. A living trust, funded and current, lets your family settle things privately instead.
You work directly with Donald W. Flaig. Many clients who live further from our Westlake Village office handle most of the process by phone and email, and sign in person. The first consultation is free.
Ventura’s older neighborhoods hold a lot of homes that were bought long ago and are now worth many times their purchase price. That makes how the home is titled, and how it passes to the next generation, a question worth answering before it has to be.
Whether your plan is new or decades old, we make sure it is funded, current and clear, so your family is never left with a question the documents should have answered.
Ventura is where Ventura County’s estate cases are heard, at the Hall of Justice on Victoria Avenue. Keeping your estate out of that building is the most common reason Ventura families set up a trust.
Homes bought in Ventura decades ago are often worth many times their purchase price. How they are titled, and whether they are in the trust, decides how smoothly they pass.
Ventura clients handle most of the planning by phone and email and sign in person, the way other clients who live further away have described doing it in their reviews.
“I had a really smooth experience working with the Flaig Law firm to update our living trust. Donnie and his team were very timely and reliable on every step in the process. We communicated mostly over email and conference calls as we lived a bit too far away.”
Michael M.Google review“Donnie made us getting a Trust so simple. He is extremely sharp and detail oriented. He walked my husband and I through each page of our Trust and gave us specific instructions on what we needed to do on our end. Worth every single penny!”
