The Document People is celebrating its 22nd Anniversary, serving the communities around Woodland Hills. Now what is The Document People? The Document People is a legal business that helps customers with legal documents regarding business, real estate, divorce, and much more. It’s conveniently located right on Ventura Blvd., one block East of Topanga.
With a staff of five people, open Monday through Saturday and business hours that stretch into the evening hours, it’s easy to see why The Document People has become the go-to place for a wide range of legal services. They provide services for cases such as uncontested divorces, 
incorporation, name change, power of attorney, and – the focus of our article today – estate planning.
A couple of our staff members have done business with The Document People in the past and have experienced first-hand, not only the affordability of their living trusts, but also their quick turnaround, knowledge, organization and attention to details. They really take their time to answer all of your questions and explain the legal concepts that are not necessarily easy to understand for someone without a legal background.
A Living trust is a series of documents that allow your belongings to be transferred to your heirs at your passing, without Governments’s intervention. “Having a living trust is fundamental to protecting a person’s estate from probate” says Paolo Rubino, the owner. A probate is what happens when a person passes away and the heirs must go to court and be appointed by the judge to distribute the person’s assets. Probates are extremely expensive, time consuming, and something that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Living trusts don’t go through the probate process, as a will would, making the distribution of the assets a much quicker process. The death of a loved one is already a difficult time and families should have the best, and easiest, options for the legal aftermath.
The Document People trusts also include the financial power of attorneys and the medical directives, so a person you trust can is always ready to help in case a person you become incapacitated or are unable to take care of your health on your own.
Also, in case of a minor child, through a living trust, a parent can appoint a legal guardian for the minor without delays in case something was to happen to the parent.
Although there are other possible alternatives, like hiring directly an attorney (sounds expensive) or finding other options online (sounds shaky), The Document People living trusts truly are the best of both worlds. They are drafted entirely by an attorney for a very affordable price. Because their attorney is not involved in the collection of information, they are able to pass on the savings to their customers. Their customers leave feeling accomplished and with a burden being lifted off their shoulders.
