Margaret B. Sharp
Los Angeles, CA Estate Planning Attorney
Meet Margaret B. Sharp, an attorney in Los Angeles, California focusing exclusively on estate planning. She knows the challenges you face when preparing a plan for your life and death and is here to help.
Margaret B. Sharp was formerly a stockbroker at Dean Witter. After earning her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, she established her solo practice. Ms. Sharp has chosen to limit her practice to estate planning which can be impacted
by other areas of law such as inheritance, property, retirement, estate tax, and family law issues that can cross over into estate planning depending on the particular circumstances. Currently a member of the State Bar of California, she is also a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the Santa Monica Bar Association, she has been practicing since 1994.
Ms. Sharp writes a quarterly newsletter for her clients. These newsletters focus on estate planning issues which may be of general interest. In addition, Ms. Sharp conducts educational seminars on specific estate planning topics from time to time.
Estate planning is a highly personal area of law: it is about everything you have and everyone you love. This type of planning provides for management of your financial matters during life and after death. You must be able to work closely with an attorney who will take the time to discuss your specific needs and options with you. Estate planning also involves planning for your own medical care and treatment so that when you are most vulnerable, trusted people are in place and empowered to step in to assist you. Your estate plan is a reflection of your unique family dynamics and personal values. This is why it is so important to work with someone with the necessary compassion and understanding of the laws that impact estate planning.
