Don’t Let Another Day Pass… Without Creating a Living Trust

Mr. and Mrs. Y. Change had the world in the palms of their hands. They were in their mid-fifties, in impeccable heath, had two wonderful children, an estate in California, a winter home in the Alps and a bank account that would make even Donald Trump take notice.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck and the Change children found themselves without their adoring and financially-supportive parents. To add insult to injury, Mr. and Mrs. Y. Change never established a living trust, leaving the Change children in Probate Court, battling for what was rightfully theirs. After two years in probate and hundreds of thousands of dollars later on attorneys, executors, appraisals and court fees, the Change children were left with just a portion of their parent’s original fortune.

Unfortunately, this scenario is all too commonplace. While creating a living trust may seem cumbersome, the alternative is far worse. Without one, you run the risk of your loved ones enduring a time-consuming and costly process, known as probate. Generally this legal process takes between nine months to two years and includes costly fees.

Additionally, I have been elected to sit on the board of the Parkinson’s Association, a cause that is very near and dear to me. I’m looking forward to assisting the organization with its efforts.

Parkinson’s Fundraiser...

The Cain Law Group is not only committed to its craft, but also to the community. As part of our social responsibility, we participated in Walk Together for the Cure in an effort to improve the quality of life for those with Parkinson’s Disease in the Greater San Diego area.

To help raise money Brian A. Cain and Saretta Holler, our marketing consultant, guest bartended at Manhattan Restaurant. All of the tips received were donated to the Parkinson’s Disease Association of San Diego (PDASD). Additionally, Manhattan Restaurant donated 10% of all sales that evening to PDASD. Generous prizes were raffled off, including skin peels and skin care products from Dr. Barry Broomberg, General Practitioner; a trust from The Cain Law Group; a facial from Urban Skin Care; a $75 gift certificate to Manhattan Restaurant; and an original painting by artist Narisa Broomberg. In total PDASD raised $125,000, $1,250 of which The Cain Law Group contributed. The race boasted a 50% increase of runners and contributions this year.
