About The Author

Hi.  I’m Mitchell Roth.  At the risk of appearing immodest, let me tell you something about myself.

 

I’ve been practicing law since 1977 in Southern California.  I graduated with honors from St. John’s University School of Law (for all you Redmen out there).

 

I’ve taught Wills and Trusts in law school.  I’ve also taught Property, Business Organizations and Community Property on the law school level at the University of La Verne Law School, La Verne Campus.

 

For Estate Preservation, Inc., I taught hundreds of seminars to literally thousands of people just like you on the topics of Living Trusts and Medicaid Planning.  I was amazed by how little people understood about probate, conservatorship, gift and estate taxes, wills, trusts, healthcare powers, and powers of attorney.  Of course, I shouldn’t be amazed.  After all, they don’t teach this stuff in high school or even in college.  But, they should.

 

I find myself deeply concerned about our world.  I see a political and legal system skewed strongly in favor of the rich and powerful at the expense of the middle class.  As a practicing lawyer, I’ve done my share over the years of helping the wealthy and the powerful, I must admit.  I hope now to do what I can to level the playing field and, in my small way, help save the American middle class.

 

My book CREATE YOUR LEGACY & SAVE THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS provides the most important content of a public seminar on Revocable Living Trusts and related issues.  But, I don’t leave you there with ideas and information and no plan.  I follow up by presenting the Legacy Living Trust Package.  The book contains all in the Appendix of those documents.  I show you the documents both for single people and for married couples, the planning tools utilized by the rich to protect their wealth for their loved ones when death and disability strike, but without the legalese. 

 

You see, I’ve learned that the language lawyers have used for years to draft these and many other documents is daunting and confusing to non-lawyers.  Yet, truth be known, there is nothing about these documents that requires that they be written in legalese at all. So, why are they written that way?  I think that the legal profession finds it a convenient way to keep people dependent on lawyers and paying those fees.  Also, I think it adds to the perception of value in much the same way that medical doctors heighten our perception of their value by giving diseases names which are no more than a description in Greek or Latin of the symptoms we are having.   Laryngitis or Conjunctivitis are examples that come immediately to mind.

 

I write in “people ease” whenever possible to free you from your dependence on high priced lawyers.
