About Wills & Trusts
Speak to Our Riverside Estate Planning Lawyer
If you are planning the future of your estate, then the most fundamental
element of this is to prepare a will. This is an official document that
designates the division of your estate amongst the beneficiaries that
you name in the will. The will shall then be subject to the
probate process where the probate court will officiate the carrying-out of your wishes.
You will name an executor or an administrator of your estate who will
contact beneficiaries, gather assets and property, pay debts, and divide
your estate according to your wishes.
You need to recognize that the administrator will also be subject to fees
and taxation, and for this reason, you may wish to avoid the probate process
as much as possible. This can be accomplished through the use of a living
trust. In using this option, you will transfer your assets into the trust,
and they will be distributed amongst your beneficiaries after your death.
This is crucial as any estate left in your name will be subject to probate.
A trust, however, will ensure that they are transferred out of your name
and are therefore exempt from
probate. This can all be confusing and difficult to successfully achieve on your
own. You need the assistance of a
Riverside probate attorney from our firm.
