Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in California?
A basic estate plan typically includes a will, a durable power of attorney for finances, an advance health care directive, and a living will. These documents ensure your wishes are followed and avoid probate delays.
Do I need a trust to avoid probate in California?
In California, assets held in a revocable living trust generally avoid probate, which can save time and money. However, a will alone does not avoid probate. An attorney can help you decide if a trust is right for your situation.
How long does probate take in Orange County, California?
Probate in Orange County typically takes 9 to 18 months from start to finish. The timeline depends on the complexity of the estate and whether any disputes arise. California law requires a minimum four-month creditor claim period.
