Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce
We are proud Members of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce.
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.

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have an inventory sheet where all the trust assets are listed, but most people ignore it, or the inventory in it gets outdated over time.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.
Longtime estate planning attorney Samuel B. Ledwitz, who also works with dozens of small business owners, said the employee retention credit — or ERC — can still help businesses get back — or stay — on fiscal track.
