Even with the great advances that have been seen in LGBTQ rights, we still have a long way to go.  Indeed, LGBTQ seniors who find themselves in long-term care facilities still face substantial discrimination in various forms. However, a proposed bill, authored by state Senator Scott Wiener, passed the Senate with a vote of 26-12 and will now head to the Assembly for a vote. The bill is also sponsored by Equality California, a non-profit civil rights organization advocating for the rights of … [Read more...] about Proposed Legislation in California Could Improve Safety of LGBTQ Seniors

The Benefits of the Supreme Court Decision on Gay Marriage

December 21, 2015LGBTQ Estate Planning

Being legally married makes estate planning easier because of the automatic eligibility for most benefits that married couples enjoy. The LGBTQ community and other supporters of gay marriage are certainly pleased with the United States Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which many feel has been a long time coming. As a result of this decision, millions of Americans are now eligible for legal rights they were previously unable to enjoy. Now, there are privileges and rights … [Read more...] about The Benefits of the Supreme Court Decision on Gay Marriage

Medical Decision Making for Gay Couples

November 6, 2015LGBTQ Estate Planning

It is easy for heterosexual married couples to take for granted many of their rights and privileges in our country.  For example, there is no question that a husband can visit his wife in the hospital and make decisions regarding her medical care, if required.  However, these same rights are not available to all gay couples.  In 2014, only 32 states and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage.  California joined this number in June of 2013.  However, there are still obstacles to be … [Read more...] about Medical Decision Making for Gay Couples

What Is a Domestic Partnership Agreement?

November 6, 2015LGBTQ Estate Planning, Article

The rights and privileges enjoyed by married couples across the country are typically assumed, and often taken for granted – when the couple is heterosexual.  There is no debate that a husband has the right to visit his wife in the emergency room and make medical decisions for her, if necessary.  These same rights and privileges cannot be assumed with same-sex couples.  Though the movement for legalized gay marriage is well underway there are still some states that do not yet recognize gay … [Read more...] about What Is a Domestic Partnership Agreement?

We need to update our Living Trust and attended Schomer Law Group’s seminar. Afterwards we made an appointment and were impressed by the attention Scott Schomer and Liran Aliav gave to our case answering all questions and making suggestions how to minimize the estate tax. All the office staff is very friendly and we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.

We put off getting a trust for years. After attending a seminar with Scott Schomer we realized that the time had come to get a trust. We were given very good reasons for why we should get a trust. No pressure, just the plain facts. We are very relieved and happy to finally get our trust. Scott and Cesar were very knowledgeable, helpful and listened to our ideas of what we had to say. Any questions that we have now and in the future they are available to assist us to solve them. I recommend the Schomer Law Group and I wish we knew about them years ago.

When you’re presented with an invitation to attend in a mailer, you may have reservations, this was a truly gift!! My wife and I were educated and guided through the process of creating a family trust.
Both of our parents had attorney’s that “worked” with wills/trusts, but came up short. Fortunately, the Schomer Law Group was there! This is a group of attorney’s that only specialize in estate planning, law, and financial advice, so you know you’re getting expert and personalized advice. This is the best money we’ve ever spent!! Thank you!

We knew we had to update our 10 year old ( 20 page ) trust. After several detailed meetings, Liran and Cesar produced a large ( 300 pages + ) highly detailed trust document that we have used to make sure our family estate is well managed and clearly understood.
They were all very helpful in answering myriad questions and explaining all the various options…

We would strongly recommend the Schomer Law Group to anyone with an estate of even modest means, to assure proper planning…

We had contemplated updating our will and starting a trust for a number of years. After attending a talk by Scott Schomer we realized we were long overdue and the potential downside of not having our affairs in order was significant. Scott and his excellent team made the process simple and seamless. They were great listeners, addressed all our concerns and even pulled and processed all the paperwork from our financial institutions. If you are looking for assistance with estate planning, wills and trusts, we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.
