Beach Cities? Estate Law

We are a trusts and estates firm helping Californians in beach communities. Our business is “families.” (“Families and taxes” actually, but we love the details.) We regularly help clients with up to $50 million in assets. Whether they’re doctors, lawyers, executives, real estate professionals, or entrepreneurial business owners, when it really comes down to it, everyone wants basically the same thing: to protect their hard-earned wealth and ensure their families are OK after they’re gone. Every family has a story―every life is unique and interesting―and it’s our job to learn the nuances and details, to be the trusted ear who will listen to their family and business challenges, protect their deepest secrets, and ensure they’re paying the lowest taxes possible after they’re gone. We’re their sword and shield against the IRS. They trust us to understand the skeletons in every closet without judgment, and fiercely protect them. Our clients may be balancing the priorities of a second marriage or caring for a special-needs child. Some are selling the business that’s been their life’s work to a private equity firm. In a profession that can seem cold and dispassionate, we have the best jobs in the world; we’re the legal Lone Ranger, riding up to safeguard their family. Estate planning is like playing chess against the IRS. They’re very good, so you have to be better. Every game is different, so you must work harder, understand their motivations and weaknesses, and think many moves ahead. You play by the rules, but there are infinite ways to win. The government has boundless resources, so you smile and shake hands after the game, so they don’t leave looking for a rematch. Our founder, Angela Bellanca Klenk worked 5 years at a top LA law firm, 4 at a Westside boutique, and 7 serving as a family office, when she opened BCEL in 2013. She has become the trusted referral for the CEOs of major law firms across southern California.
