Wills and Trusts services in California
Creating secure estate documents is one of the most important steps in your life. Without one, your property and assets cannot be distributed according to your wishes, and you may leave your family members vulnerable.
Our attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable about all facets of estate planning, including:
​
-
Last Will and Testament
This is the basic step to protect both your family and your property. In your will, you determine the distribution of your property, you can name a guardian for your minor children and an executor to manage your estate. If you die without a will, your property will be distributed according to California’s intestacy law, not necessarily to the people you want.
​
-
Living Trusts
A living trust is created to provide for management and for the distribution of your assets. In a living trust, you name a trustee to manage your property in the event of your death. You are normally the trustee when the living trust is created. The main goal of a living trust is to arrange your assets before you die so that your family can avoid the complicated probate time and process, avoiding excessive costs if you only have a will.
In California, it is also important to discuss with your attorney the benefits of establishing a trust specifically for your pets and firearms.​

-
Healthcare Directives
A durable power of attorney for healthcare will dictate the type of medical treatment you would or would not like to receive if you become incapacitated and unable to vocalize your wishes. The durable power of attorney names a person to direct your healthcare if you are unable to do so for yourself and also your end of life directions.
