Estate Planning

Create a Plan for the Future

Most people avoid looking too far into the future. While planning for upcoming vacations or retirement may be enjoyable to think about, planning further may lead to uncomfortable questions. Mortality is an unpleasant subject, but it may be a good time to start considering your end-of-life plan to ensure your family’s future.

There are many considerations to make concerning the distribution of your assets and the management of your health care and financial matters in the event of your incapacity. Let us help you determine the best course of action to ensure you and your family’s comfort in the event of your incapacity or death.

A Last Will and Testament is a document which tells the probate court how you would like your assets distributed upon your death and who you would like to put in charge of the distribution. A Will does not avoid probate. If you die without a will, California Probate Code § 6400 allows the state to divide your property according to its law whether or not the end results accord with your desires before death.

You may have heard of a will and a living trust respectively, but they are not interchangeable terms. A will, or last will and testament, allows you to choose how your estate will be disposed by the courts after your death. If you have children, it will also enable you to specify who should be the guardian of those children. A living trust, on the other hand, goes into effect while you’re still alive but unable to make decisions for yourself. If you know your relatives are inclined to dementia or Alzheimer’s, for example, a living trust would specify how you wish to be cared for and who will make your medical decisions on your behalf when you are no longer able to, as well as directions regarding your preference for the level of life saving prolonging efforts!
