Southern California Estate Planning Attorney

Many people put off estate planning because they don’t think they are old enough or have sufficient assets to worry about it yet. But in truth, it is never too early to have a proper estate plan. Simply put, everyone should have the peace of mind of having an estate plan in place.

Planning for the Inevitable

What will happen to your property and debts when you pass away? How will your loved ones be protected and provided for? A well-drafted estate plan will spell these things out. In doing so, a proper estate plan will likely keep your estate out of probate, saving your family a great deal of time, money and hardship.

Planning for the Unpredictable

Other types of estate planning documents are more focused on directing how things will go in the event of incapacity. For instance, an Advance Health Care Directive can direct healthcare providers how to care for a person that has become incapacitated, and name an agent who can make certain decisions on behalf of that person if they are unable to do so. Similarly, a designated agent named in a Durable Power of Attorney for Finance can make certain financial decisions for a person who is mentally incapacitated.
