One plan — legal, real estate, and insurance working together — can protect all of it. Shekhar Chikhalikar is the only attorney in the San Fernando Valley who holds all three licenses simultaneously.
Most families have a will, a Realtor, and an insurance agent who've never spoken to each other. That gap is where estates go to probate, homes get deeded wrong, and insurance voids at exactly the wrong moment. LA Vakil closes that gap.

Shekhar Chikhalikar holds a California State Bar license, a DRE Realtor license, and a P&C Insurance Agent license — simultaneously. There is no one else in the San Fernando Valley who can do all three in one conversation. That is not a marketing line. It is the reason LA Vakil clients don't fall through the gaps that cost other families tens of thousands of dollars.
Estate planning, probate avoidance, Medi-Cal trusts, special needs planning, conservatorship, and civil litigation. Every document customized to your actual family — not a form kit.
An attorney-REALTOR who sees title implications, trust ownership issues, Prop 19, and tax basis consequences that standard agents never think about. Probate property sales are a specialty.
Independent agent who understands trusts, real estate, and estate planning. When your home moves into a trust, your insurance must be updated — and we do that automatically, because we drafted the trust.
All three services. One advisor. One coordinated strategy.

"We'd been putting off our estate plan for years — always something more urgent. Shekhar made the whole process completely manageable. Our trust is done, the house is properly deeded in, and we finally feel like our kids are actually protected."
"My mom passed without a trust and we had no idea what to do. Shekhar guided us through every single step of probate — explained what was happening, kept us informed, and treated our whole family with real compassion during the hardest time of our lives."
"I didn't know my homeowners policy wasn't set up correctly for my trust until Shekhar caught it while drafting my estate plan. He fixed the deed, flagged the insurance gap, coordinated the update through INSUREDLA. One call. Three problems solved. I can't recommend him enough."
