An advance healthcare directive — sometimes called a living will — tells your doctors and loved ones what medical treatment you want if you're unable to communicate.

Without one, those decisions fall to family members who may disagree, or to medical providers following default protocols that may not reflect your wishes.

It's a deeply personal document, and it's one of the most important gifts you can give your family.

At Pedrick Law Group, we help clients across Southern California put complete estate plans in place — including the documents most people forget.

Retirement accounts are often one of the largest assets in a marriage — and one of the most complicated to divide.

In California, the portion of a 401(k), pension, or IRA earned during the marriage is generally considered community property. Dividing these accounts requires a specific court order called a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order), and getting it wrong can trigger taxes and penalties.

This is not a DIY situation. The details matter enormously.

Pedrick Law Group has the experience to handle complex asset division correctly the first time.

In California, any licensed attorney can call themselves a family law attorney. But only a small percentage earn board certification as a specialist.

Board certification requires passing a rigorous exam, demonstrating substantial experience in the field, and earning peer recognition. It's the legal profession's way of distinguishing attorneys who have truly mastered their practice area.

Gregory Pedrick is one of those attorneys — a board-certified family law specialist with 28+ years of experience serving clients across Southern California.

When the stakes are high, credentials matter.

Most people don't think about a power of attorney until a crisis hits. By then, it's often too late to put one in place easily.

A durable power of attorney lets you designate someone you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become incapacitated. Without one, your family may have to go through a costly and time-consuming court process just to help you.

It's one of the most important documents in any estate plan — and one of the most overlooked.

Pedrick Law Group helps Southern California families get these essentials in place before they're needed.

Spousal support — also called alimony — is one of the most misunderstood aspects of California divorce law.

Courts consider a range of factors: the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, the standard of living during the marriage, and more. There's no simple formula, which is why having experienced counsel matters.

Whether you're concerned about paying support or ensuring you receive what you're entitled to, understanding how California courts approach this issue is the first step.

California law automatically revokes certain provisions in your will after a divorce is finalized — but it doesn't update everything.

Beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and bank accounts are NOT automatically changed. If you don't update them, your ex-spouse could still inherit those assets.

Divorce is one of the most important triggers for a full estate plan review. Don't wait until it's too late.

Pedrick Law Group helps clients navigate the intersection of family law and estate planning so nothing falls through the cracks.

If you own a business and you're going through a divorce, the stakes are higher than most people realize.

In California, a business started or grown during a marriage may be considered community property — meaning your spouse could have a claim to a portion of its value. How that value is calculated, and how the business is treated in the settlement, can have lasting consequences.

This is exactly where having an attorney who understands both family law AND business law makes a difference.

Pedrick Law Group has helped business owners across Southern California protect what they've built. Let's talk about your situation.

Not every divorce has to be a battle.

Mediation and collaborative divorce can save time, money, and emotional energy — especially when children are involved. But there are situations where assertive litigation is the right call to protect your interests.

After 28 years, I've learned that the best approach depends entirely on your specific circumstances. My job is to help you understand the tradeoffs and choose the path that serves your long-term interests.

At Pedrick Law Group, we're prepared for both — and we'll be honest with you about which one fits your situation.

A will tells people what you want. A trust makes it happen — without the delays and costs of probate.

For many California families, a revocable living trust is one of the most practical estate planning tools available. It keeps your affairs private, speeds up the transfer of assets to your loved ones, and gives you control while you're alive.

If you don't have a trust yet — or haven't reviewed yours since a major life change — now is the time.

Pedrick Law Group helps clients across Southern California build estate plans that actually work when they're needed most.
