Samuel B. Ledwitz likes to grab a bite in Burbank, eating at the original Bob’s Big Boy as both a teenager and now as a dad. Other Burbank restaurants Samuel likes include Smoke House Restaurant, Bea Bea’s, Frank’s Diner and Tally Rand. His favorite Burbank restaurant is the Castaway Restaurant with a beautiful view of Los Angeles.
And with several movie studios located in Burbank – most notably Warner Bros. Studios and The Walt Disney Studios – it is no surprise many movies have been filmed in Burbank over the years. Some of the most popular include “LaLa Land” (2016), “Apollo 13” (1995), “Grease” (1978) and even “Casablanca” (1942).

Keeping Track of Trust Assets
When someone passes away, one of the first things a Trustee need to do is to find out what assets are in the trust, which need to be put into the trust, and which have direct beneficiary designations. Most estate plans have an inventory sheet where all the trust assets are listed, but most people ignore it, or the inventory in it gets outdated over time.
The best place to start is by collecting the deceased person’s mail.

How the ERC can help keep businesses on track financially
It’s no secret that the past few years have been rough for most business owners. But just because the pandemic is just about in the rear-view mirror, that doesn’t mean financial help for businesses is no longer available.
