A well crafted estate plan can provide for you and your loved ones during your lifetime and long after you are gone. Nobody plans to fail. Unfortunately, many simply fail to plan. You have worked hard to provide for your family. The single most important protection that you can provide for your family is a Living Revocable Trust.

The Living Revocable Trust Many people believe that a Living Revocable Trust is merely a vehicle for transfering title to property on the death of the trustor. More importantly, the Living Revocable Trust is a device for managing a person's estate while they are alive, and protecting the interests of their loved ones after they are gone. By use of a Living Revocable Trust, a trustor can save his or her family from the cost, anguish and uncertainty of a probate. The Living Revocable Trust can also protect the interests of your special needs spouse or children. Depending on the size of your estate, a Living Revocable Trust can save your family many thousands of dollars in estate and capital gains taxes.   The Probate Process Under California Probate Law, any propery in the estate of a decedent worth more that $100,000.00, must be probated prior to distribution to heirs or beneficiaries. Not only is the probate process time consuming and expensive, it is an uncertain process and often causes family disintegration. However, for persons who have chosen to dispose of their property by the use of a will, or worse, without any writing at all, a probate is a necessity.  I can help guide you and your family through this difficult and time consuming procedure.   For more information regarding my practice, or to set an appointment,  please contact me at 310-831-2379.
