Estate Planning & Elder Law Attorney in Tarzana, CA
At Our Firm We Care For Your Family Like Our Own
Why YOU Need an Estate Plan
Estate planning can be a difficult, confusing and emotionally overwhelming process. Maybe you’ve put off creating or updating your estate plan because you don’t know where to start. Maybe you assume family will be able to handle things either because you have estate planning documents from years ago or you feel you don’t have enough assets to need an estate plan.
All these situations can create a burden on those you love. Everyone we work with is so relieved to have the process done in a comprehensive, customized and detailed way. You deserve to have the same peace of mind.
At Goldfarb & Luu, we make estate planning and elder law everything you always thought it wasn’t: simple, accessible, and enjoyable.
What is an Estate Plan & Who Needs One
It’s a collection of documents that work together during incapacity and death to:
- Honor your wishes
- Reduce the burden on your loved ones
- Avoid court
- Maintain family harmony
Everyone over 18 needs some level of planning. To learn more, visit our ESTATE PLANNING page.
What is Elder Law
Working with our elders and their families is one of our greatest honors. Elder law traditionally begins as we start needing consistent and permanent help from others. We are here to counsel you and your family with the financial, legal and medical challenges of aging.
What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process that happens after someone passes away. It involves validating a will, paying debts, and distributing assets according to the law. For many families in Tarzana, working with our probate attorney can help make this process clearer and less overwhelming during an already difficult time.
What is Elder Care Planning?
What is Elder Abuse Law?
Older adults deserve safety, dignity, and respect. Unfortunately, some individuals become vulnerable to financial exploitation, neglect, or mistreatment. As an elder abuse attorney, we help families understand the warning signs of abuse and take legal steps to protect vulnerable loved ones.

There are not enough superlatives to describe my experience using Goldfarb & Luu to handle my uncle's estate! Attorney Luu and her team were incredibly helpful and compassionate, as well as clearly being experts in their field. I was an out of state executor, which was very challenging and stressful. It would not have been possible to settle the estate as efficiently as it was, without Attorney Luu's expertise, attention to detail and responsiveness. I highly recommend contacting this firm! D. RennoldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After our estate planning attorney of over 30 years retired, it took me more than 18 months to find someone I felt actually cared about what my family was trying to accomplish. I interviewed seven estate planning firms before I found Goldfarb & Luu. The best most attorneys could offer was a standard fill in the blanks form with a few added provisions. Most of the attorneys I discussed our restatement with couldn’t manage a Special Needs Trust we needed, or be bothered adding provisions for the care of our pets. A few attorneys gave what sounded like solid information to us, only to contradict themselves in our next conversation. It was a long search, but without the other firms to compare Goldfarb & Luu to I never would have appreciated what an extraordinary group of people they are or appreciated the amazing, very personal, services they offer. Please don’t look any further, these people are the real deal!Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 81 reviews
