BUSINESS LAW ARTICLES & LEGAL GUIDES FOR COMPANIES The legal implications your child turning 18 POSTED IN: NEWS Many high school seniors feel overwhelmed at the prospect of leaving home. At the same time, parents are confronting the emotional reality of a child heading off to college—often the first time they will live apart. This transition brings increased independence and decision-making, which can be both exciting and unsettling for everyone involved. What is often overlooked during this transition is the significant shift in legal rights and responsibilities that occurs when a child turns eighteen. While milestones such as voting or military service are widely understood, the broader legal implications are not. At eighteen, an individual becomes a legal adult, fully responsible for their own financial, contractual, and medical decisions—without any automatic legal authority for parents to step in. This can be surprising, especially since many young adults remain financially dependent on their parents. However, the law does not account for that dependency when assigning legal authority. The practical impact is significant: if an emergency arises—whether temporary or permanent—parents may be unable to access medical information, make healthcare decisions, or manage financial matters on behalf of their child. A proactive way to address this is through properly executed Financial and Medical Powers of Attorney, often called POA. These documents allow a designated person—often a parent—to act on behalf of the young adult in financial and medical matters if needed. In times of crisis, uncertainty, or incapacity, having these documents in place can make a critical difference, ensuring continuity of care and financial stability while allowing a trusted individual to step in when it matters most. Chauvel & Glatt can assist young adults in creating these crucial documents during this transitional period. Consider giving a graduate (and parents) the gift of peace of mind, and opportunity to sign their first legal document! Contact the Estate Planning Attorneys at Chauvel & Glatt to learn more about these documents and get them prepared for your college bound children.

ESTATE PLANNING Estate Planning for Everyone – Especially If You Don’t Have Children POSTED IN: NEWS It’s common to hear people say, “I don’t have children, so I don’t need an estate plan.” But that assumption can be misleading, especially as more Californians are choosing not to have children. The truth is that estate planning is just as important for those without children. If you don’t have an estate plan in place, California law, not your personal wishes, will decide key decisions for you. That includes who makes your medical decisions, who manages your finances if you become incapacitated, and how your assets are distributed after your death. When an individual passes away in California without an estate plan, their assets are distributed under intestate succession laws. For those without children, that often means assets go to parents, siblings, or even more distant relatives, regardless of how close those relationships actually are. Most would leave assets to a partner, close friends, or a charitable cause, and an estate plan allows for those choices to be clear. Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you pass away, it also covers what happens if you’re unable to make decisions during your lifetime. Documents such as a financial power of attorney and an advance health care directive let you choose someone you trust to step in if needed. Without that designation legally secured, your loved ones may have to go through a costly and time-consuming court process to gain that authority. For many people, naming a child as executor is an obvious choice. For those without a child, selecting the right person can take more thought, but it’s an important decision that helps ensure your affairs are handled smoothly. There are also financial advantages to advance planning. Tools like trusts and beneficiary designations can help reduce taxes, avoid probate, and efficiently transfer assets. Since probate in California can be both expensive and time-consuming, thoughtful planning can avoid it altogether. Estate planning also gives you the opportunity to think about the legacy you want to leave. That might mean supporting a favorite charity, funding a scholarship, or leaving meaningful gifts to friends and loved ones. At its core, estate planning isn’t really about whether you have children, it’s about staying in control, protecting your interests, and making sure your wishes are honored. For Californians without children, it’s one of the most effective ways to create clarity and peace of mind. Chauvel & Glatt’s experienced California estate planning attorneys are available to help you think through these decisions, develop strategies to protect and transfer your assets, and put a plan in place that reflects your priorities. This material is provided by Chauvel & Glatt for general informational purposes and reflects current information as of the date of publication. It is not intended as legal advice. For guidance tailored to your specific situation, please contact Chauvel & Glatt at 650-573-9500 EMPLOYMENT LAW ARTICLES & LEGAL GUIDES FOR EMPLOYERS Why Hire an Employment Discrimination Lawyer? POSTED IN: NEWS The short answer is because workplace discrimination claims are pervasive and are on the rise. The state of California has some of the most stringent labor laws in the country in protection of employees. In fact, they often contain more strict criteria than do federal protections. Employees in California are generally aware of their rights. When they feel their rights are being violated, they know that one agency in particular, the California Civil Rights Agency (CRD), has a mission, “…to protect the people of California from unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, businesses, and state-funded programs…” (calcivilrights.ca.gov) Following is a summary from CRD’s website of laws barring employment discrimination and what they apply to: Advertisements Applications, screening, and interviews Hiring, transferring, promoting, terminating, or separating employees Working conditions, including compensation Participation in a training or apprenticeship program, employee organization or union Who Should Be Prepared for Employment Law Discrimination Cases? The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), a state law, prohibits both public and private employers, labor organizations, and employment agencies with five or more employees – including part-time employees – from discriminating against the following protected categories of employees and potential employees: Age (40 years and older) Color Disability (physical or mental, including cancer and HIV/AIDS; reasonable accommodations must be offered) Gender Identification (transgender and gender non-conforming) Marital Status Military/Veteran Status National Origin/Ancestry/Genetics (including language restrictions, family history, DNA) Race (includes physical characteristics) Religion (including dress/grooming related to religion; reasonable accommodations must be offered) Request for Family or Medical Leave Reproductive Health Decisions (for example, contraception) Sex/Gender (including pregnancy and associated activities like breastfeeding, as well as pregnancy disability leave) Sexual Orientation Employers can see that the need for workplace discrimination legal services in California is a real possibility. Working with an experienced, professional employment discrimination law firm may help avoid a discrimination claim proceeding to litigation by making sure the employer is compliant with FEHA laws regarding workplace discrimination. Employment discrimination protection also extends to the recruiting (including job postings/advertisements) and hiring processes, which may surprise many employers. It also leads to the next heads up another reason employers should consider engaging employment discrimination attorney services. Does Employment Law Discrimination Exempt Artificial Intelligence? In a word, no. All employers who are using artificial intelligence (AI) and AI chatbots for resume screening, online job postings, one-way video interviews, and elsewhere in the workplace must understand that the potential for employment discrimination claims impacts AI tools, as well. This is true regardless of whether the use of AI could or could not ease racial and ethnic bias in hiring, which is debatable. An April 20, 2023 Pew Research Center Report on Americans’ views on AI in hiring indicated that the majority of Americans are unaware that it is being used, although this varies between various demographics. The overall awareness level may increase over time as use of AI in general becomes more pervasive. A Reuters article from August 10, 2023 says this about a lawsuit still pending, “Many worker advocates and policymakers are concerned about the potential for existing biases to be baked into AI software, even unintentionally. In a pending proposed class action in California federal court, Workday is accused of designing hiring software used by scores of large companies that screens out Black, disabled and older applicants. Workday has denied wrongdoing. Experts expect an increasing number of lawsuits accusing employers of discriminating through their use of AI software.” Why Seek Counsel to Help Manage AI the Right Way? Employment discrimination investigation counsel can provide guidance to employers who are using AI in employment practices, such as: Thoroughly evaluating AI vendors for compliance with both EEOC and California anti-discrimination laws Algorithmic bias audits Informing employees and potential employees about the use of AI Requiring the vendor to assume liability of discriminatory employment practices occur Are California Workplace Discrimination Laws It? In addition to California state laws, Federal laws protecting anti-discrimination in the workplace are enforced by the US Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Maintaining compliance in the workplace around Federal laws an employment discrimination lawyer in California must also be able to serve as an EEOC defense lawyer. At Chauvel & Glatt, our goal is to help clients avoid litigation. Still, when necessary, we are well-prepared to advocate for our clients and serve as their workplace discrimination litigation defense. We will provide counsel that results in an employer discrimination response using a process that is quick and efficient. We know that workplace discrimination lawsuit settlements have the potential to result in a loss of millions of dollars for employers. Let us be your partners in developing policies and procedures that are compliant, responsible, and fair.
