Spiegel Estate Planning

About Spiegel Estate Planning

Spiegel Estate Planning is a Los Angeles practice focused on estate planning for parents, couples and individuals. Attorney Juliya Spiegel holds a law degree from UCLA School of Law. Her work addresses the distribution of assets, guardianship choices for minor children and arrangements for incapacity, with plans tailored to clients' family circumstances and wishes.

The practice prepares coordinated sets of documents that include a trust, a pour-over will, financial powers of attorney, an advance health care directive, a HIPAA release and a living will. Its planning discussions consider assets, family relationships and health care preferences, including who should make financial and medical decisions if a client cannot do so.

The planning process starts with a client questionnaire and an initial consultation, followed by an estate planning worksheet, document drafting and review, and a signing meeting. Clients then transfer assets into their trust. The practice offers a free initial consultation to discuss planning goals and whether the engagement is a suitable fit. Most estate planning services use a flat fee, while matters requiring hourly billing are charged by the hour; the cost depends on the estate's size and complexity.
