Expert Probate and Estate Planning Attorney Chris M. Bradford is the attorney for the West Covina law firm office as well as the Bellflower office. Because of this, it is always best to make an appointment to make sure the attorney is available to see you when you come in. Attorney Bradford helps with Trusts, Wills and Probate as well as Bankruptcy and Family Law issues. Attorney Bradford encourages all clients to have a Trust prepared if they have property. Without this very important document, heirs may have to have property transferred by Probate which is a long and costly process. A Trust costs only $675 whereas a Probate can cost $10,000 or more! It is usually a matter of education and Attorney Bradford tries to impress upon clients the need to be proactive when it comes to their estate.

Law Firms in West Covina – What makes Legal Action Workshop stand out

The divorce and probate attorneys at Legal Action Workshop are not just qualified but compassionate and understanding. The expert estate and probate attorneys always advise clients as to their legal options as it pertains to the purchase of property, the aftermath of a divorce, legal separation, annulment or a paternity action. Many people forget that if they complete a divorce, legal separation or an annulment and have life insurance or other investments, they may have to change the beneficiary on these and may have to prepare a new will, trust or powers of attorney. Likewise, if parents are not married and have children, these children may be named on life insurance policies or other investments and it is important that instructions be made in a will and/ or a trust so that monies or property for children are protected. Attorney Bradford will advise clients of the need for legal documents once legal matters are completed or when there are existing court orders. A small amount of time and money now can save a great deal of time, money and stress later on!

The experts at the West Covina law firm's office also handle a variety of family law issues—everything from divorces, legal separations, annulments and paternity actions to change orders for existing court orders (Orders to Show Cause) as well as restraining orders and preparation for trials. In order to prepare for a trial as in a Divorce or Legal Separation, Attorney Bradford advises clients to have a trial brief. This is a document that outlines the client’s case for the judge. Attorney Bradford also goes to court for clients under ‘limited scope’. This means that the attorney can fully represent the client while in court but right after the hearing or trial, he would no longer represent the client. The advantage of this is that the client gets what is needed in court and Legal Action Workshop can offer a LOW FLAT FEE for the time in court. Most attorneys do not do this and usually charge an hourly rate for the time in court as well as the drive time. Legal Action Workshop offers a low flat fee for the day in court or any portion thereof.

It is very important that people do not ignore paperwork that is received by the courts. When people do this, they can get themselves into more trouble. Ignoring paperwork received can result in forfeiting claims to property, allowing the courts to determine support payments, or allowing the courts to determine custody of minors. Attorney Bradford always encourages clients to seek legal advice before time periods run out and to pay close attention to any paperwork that comes from the courts. Consultations with regard to family law or estate planning are $50 and this low flat fee is applied to whatever work needs to be done. Many people think that they cannot afford an attorney. However, Legal Action Workshop has made seeing an attorney truly affordable. This should encourage anyone who has a need for legal advice, to come into the law firm's office in West Covina and be informed as to their legal rights and options.

The West Covina's law firm office also handles bankruptcy and probate issues. Attorney Bradford fully represents in both these areas. He is one of the qualified and trusted bankruptcy and probate attorneys in West Covina. With regard to Bankruptcy, Attorney Bradford will advise you as to whether you qualify for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and what paperwork is needed to substantiate your income. Basically, you will need to have proof of earnings, the most recent tax return that was filed as well as any creditor statements or repossession statements. You may also require information on property that is owned as in a house or a condo. The consultation for bankruptcy is FREE and is very helpful as Attorney Bradford will answer all your legal questions and help you understand the kind of bankruptcy that is needed as well as what happens to your credit once a bankruptcy is completed.

Attorney Chris M. Bradford also helps with Probate. Often, people call the West Covina law firm office with probate questions. Legal Action Workshop offers a FREE consultation for Probate. The majority of questions with regard to Probate are about one or more family members that may be fighting with other members or may not be in agreement with the division of property. This type of situation is usually a ‘contested’ matter. It may be contesting a will or a trust or the Probate itself. Sometimes, a family member may think that wrong doing has occurred i.e. fraud or there may be other illegal activity. If this is the case, we would refer the matter to another attorney who handles ‘contested’ matters. These types of matters require an investigation to determine fault and are usually billed at an hourly rate. However, if you have a situation where someone has passed away and that person owned property without a Trust, then we could help transfer the ownership of the property to the heirs by Probate. A conversation with Legal Action Workshop, PC will determine how to proceed with these Probate matters.
