Kushner Legal Builds Estate Plans Around the Families People Actually Have

Almost nobody walks into a lawyer's office because they want to think about dying. They come in because a parent got sick. They come in because a friend's family spent two years trapped in probate, and they do not want to put their own children through the same ordeal. Lars Kushner understands this better than most. His entire practice is built around a simple idea: make the hard conversation ordinary, then make sure the documents actually work when a family needs them.

That clarity did not come from theory. It came from years of watching estate plans fail.

From Courtrooms in Vancouver to a Practice in Beverly Hills

Lars began his legal career in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2010. He focused on family law, estate litigation, and professional regulation, appearing in court on a weekly basis. Those years gave him a front-row view of what happens when planning goes wrong. He saw families divided, assets frozen, and grief compounded by paperwork that did not hold up.

In 2019, Lars fulfilled a lifelong dream by earning licensure with the State Bar of California and moving to the state he had long admired. By 2020, he founded Kushner Legal Corporation, dedicated to delivering bespoke and secure estate planning. He now maintains an office in Beverly Hills and recently opened a satellite office in Palm Springs to better serve clients across Southern California.

His litigation background shapes everything he does. He has seen the disputes firsthand, so he plans to prevent them.

Plans Built for the Family That Actually Exists

Estate law was written for a world that no longer describes most people. Lars sees this every day.

"The families I see today rarely look like the ones the statutes were written for," he explains. "There are second marriages, adult children from three households, partners who never married, property in another state or another country. A form document does not hold up under that. The plan has to be built for the family that actually exists."

Kushner Legal works closely with individuals, couples, families, and chosen families throughout Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Lars pays particular attention to the LGBTQ+ community, where standard planning tools often fail to reflect real relationships and real intentions. Because he is licensed in both British Columbia and California, he also serves cross-border clients, including Canadian property owners with assets on both sides of the border.

This is not one-size-fits-all planning. It is careful work, built relationship by relationship.

What Makes Kushner Legal Different

Larger firms come with layers, overhead, and the risk of becoming a file number. Kushner Legal is intentionally boutique. When you work with the firm, you work directly with an attorney who knows your story, your priorities, and the people you want to protect.

The differences are practical and clear:

Personalized planning. Lars takes the time to understand your relationships, your priorities, and your long-term goals before drafting a single document.

Transparent flat-fee pricing. You know the cost from the beginning. There is no surprise billing and there are no hidden charges.

Less paperwork, more peace of mind. The firm uses modern technology to keep the process smooth and efficient, with clear timelines from the start and convenient in-house notarization services.

Planning for the "what ifs" most firms miss. Lars's estate litigation background gives him insight into the disputes that arise when planning is incomplete or unclear. He closes those gaps before they can open.

A long-term relationship, not a transaction. Lars strives to become your "Lawyer for Life," offering complimentary estate plan reviews every three years to help ensure your documents continue to reflect your goals and circumstances.

Each of these choices points in the same direction. The goal is protection that lasts, delivered by someone who stays present in your life.

Services That Cover the Whole Picture

Kushner Legal offers a full range of estate planning tools. These include revocable living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. The firm also handles prenuptial agreements, probate, and trust administration.

Beyond the core documents, Lars provides specialized planning for LGBTQ+ and chosen families, along with guidance for Canadian property owners navigating assets across two countries. For clients who want to learn before they commit, the firm publishes educational guides, eBooks, newsletters, and a digital magazine focused on LGBTQ+ estate planning.

The result is a practice that addresses the whole picture, not just a stack of forms.

Recognition and a Reputation Built on Trust

Lars has been named a Lawyer of Distinction for three consecutive years. His work has earned dozens of five-star reviews from clients who arrived anxious and left reassured. That reputation reflects more than legal skill. It reflects the way he treats people during one of the most personal decisions they will ever make.

Outside the office, Lars brings the same energy he offers his clients. You can find him on the tennis and pickleball courts across West Hollywood, cheering for his beloved Minnesota Vikings, or dreaming of his next trip abroad. He is approachable, human, and genuinely invested in the people he serves.

That warmth matters. Estate planning asks people to be honest about love, family, and mortality. Lars makes the conversation feel safe.

Peace of Mind, Made Simple

Estate planning is not really about documents. It is about the people you love and the future you want to protect. It is about sparing your family the two years in probate that pushed you to pick up the phone in the first place.

Kushner Legal exists to make that protection accessible, clear, and built for real life. Whether you are part of a blended family, a chosen family, a couple who never married, or a Canadian property owner with assets in two countries, Lars Kushner will build a plan that holds up when it counts.
