  The field of lepton flavor violation will live an era of unprecedented
developments in the near future, with dedicated experiments in different
fronts. The observation of a flavor violating process involving charged leptons
would be a clear evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model, thus motivating
the great effort in this direction. Furthermore, in case a positive signal is
found, a proper theoretical understanding of the lepton flavor anatomy of a
given model would become necessary. Here I briefly review the current
situation, emphasizing the most relevant theoretical and phenomenological
aspects of several processes. Finally, I discuss two topics that have received
some attention recently: lepton flavor violation in low-scale seesaw models and
lepton flavor violating Higgs decays.
