Samuel Ledwitz, the founding partner of Bezaire, Ledwitz and Associates, would always play at Lacy Park as a child in the early 1980’s. He always felt at home there. Later, in life, he would come back to watch the July 4th fireworks on his beach towel at Lacy Park and enjoy the comfort of San Marino. During the Christmas season, Mr. Ledwitz enjoys taking his kids to see the Christmas Tree lighting on St Albans Road.
As a college student, Mr. Ledwitz worked at the prestigious Huntington Art Gallery. He helped the guests find their way over the 207-acre property and help the San Marino Police Department and the State Agriculture Department become familiar with the property. Mr. Ledwitz would spend hours watching over the Blue Boy, Pinkie, and “Breakfast in Bed” learning about humidity and flash bulbs, and the different styles of Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Lawrence and Mary Cassatt.
After the Huntington, Mr. Ledwitz went on to join a local security company that would patrol the streets of San Marino. He enjoyed the winding road of Shenandoah and the homes on Lombardy.
As an attorney, Mr. Ledwitz has helped numerous city residents with their estate planning (wills and trusts), estate administration (what happens after a loved one dies) and Probate.

Estate Planning For Your Children – It’s Not Just About The Money
Most people near the age of majority do not have large estates (money or property) and many families assume that this means an estate plan is completely unnecessary. This is simply not true. A comprehensive estate plan does much more than protecting property from probate and directing the disposition of assets—estate plans also tell medical and financial institutions who is authorized to make decisions on your behalf. Without current, effective documents, these institutions may refuse to release medical information and will likely not allow family members to make healthcare decisions.
DOMA and Estate Planning
Recently the United States Supreme Court ruled on United States vs. Windsor—a case that argued the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). DOMA’s Section 3 controversially defined a “marriage,” for federal tax law and benefits, as only between one man...
