Estate Planning Basics
There are three, primary levels of estate planning available in California.
We offer a complete, estate planning package at an unbeatable price,
as well as individual document preparation services on a flat-fee basis.
- WILL: The first and least complicated level of estate planning is a Will,
which allows you to determine who will get what when you die; everyone should prepare an enforceable
will.
- LIVING TRUST: The second level of planning ensures that your beneficiaries
will be able to avoid the time and expense of Probate, which in most situations requires a Living
Trust.
- AB TRUST: The third and most complicated level of estate planning is intended
to avoid or reduce Estate Taxes, which is typically done by married couples through two, successive
trusts, but can be performed for unmarried couples and individuals, as well (via an AB
Trust).
These estate planning options involve complicated legal, financial and tax consequences,
and no two plans are ever identical. A professionally designed, individualized estate plan is absolutely
necessary to legally direct and preserve your personal assets for the benefit of you and your loved ones.
