Samuel B. Ledwitz J.D., LL.M, the President and Managing Partner of Bezaire, Ledwitz and Associates.
During law school Samuel and his friends would come down to Hermosa Beach on the weekends to celebrate all of their hard work and studying. Hennessey’s and the other restaurants on the pier became a good focal point for relaxation in the beautiful pier area of the city.
Samuel often walks his labradoodle, Zoey, on the greenbelt between First Avenue and Pier Avenue on the weekends. His firm is a proud sponsor of the Hermosa Beach Little League and looks forward to help the youth of Hermosa Beach to enjoy a day at the park with all of their friends.
The firm has helped many residents with their estate planning and probate needs for over the last decade. Our company headquarters is in Torrance. We are a proud member of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce.

The Estate of the Musician Known as Prince
In December 2021, the estate of the musician known as Prince, The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Minnesota Department of Revenue (MDR), settled the valuation of Prince’s estate. Prince’s music rights were the main point of contention –what is the day of death value of all of his songs and music rights?
Now that you are recently divorced, what should you do with your estate plan?
On the wedding day nobody expects to get divorced ever. We often think we will ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. However, the sun rises the next day and problems occur. A day of problems turns into weeks of problems and then into years of problems. Your friends tell you there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and they are right; however, it is the headlight from an oncoming freight train called divorce.
What to do when your child returns to college after the holidays.
We are all worried about our children and especially what would happen to them if they got a severe case of Covid-19 and needed parental help while away at college.
When your child turned age 18, they became an adult in the eyes of the government. And, although you may think they are still a kid, they have many rights that come with adulthood.
