Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Palo Alto do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents such as a will, revocable living trust, durable power of attorney, and advance health care directive. They ensure your estate plan follows California law and meets your specific goals for asset distribution and incapacity planning.
Do I need a trust in California?
A trust is not required for everyone, but it can help avoid California probate, which is often time-consuming and expensive. If you own real estate in California or have a larger estate, a revocable living trust may be a good option to simplify the transfer of assets after your death.
