Lawrence D. Williams (1938-2021) received his B.A. from California State University at Long Beach and his J.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles.  He then practiced law in Los Angeles and San Diego counties, as a certified specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law (State Bar of California), until his retirement in 2018. Mr. Williams performed sophisticated estate planning techniques, including life insurance, generation skipping, grantor retained annuity, charitable lead, and remainder trusts, private annuities, and asset valuation and charitable gift planning.  He also accrued extensive business experience, including corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, mergers and reorganizations, private placements, buy-sell agreements, leases and various contractual matters, and general business representation. Larry was a brilliant attorney and generous friend and is missed by all who knew him.
