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 sometimes a revocable living trust. California law requires these documents to be signed and witnessed according to specific rules, such as two witnesses for a will.
How does California community property law affect estate planning?
California is a community property state, meaning most assets acquired during marriage are owned equally by both spouses. This affects how assets are distributed upon death and can impact trust planning. An attorney can help you structure ownership to meet your goals.
What is the California probate process and how can it be avoided?
Probate is the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased persons assets. In California, estates over $184,500 must go through probate, which can take months and cost thousands. A revocable living trust is the most common way to avoid probate in California.
