Geographically, Riverside County is mostly desert in the central and eastern sections of the county and has a Mediterranean climate in its western section. A significant number of Los Angeles workers have moved to Riverside County to enjoy its affordable housing, which is a rarity in Southern California. Whether you live in Banning, Hemet, Palm Springs, Riverside, or Indian Wells, the need for a well-drafted estate plan is one thing that most people have in common, despite the disparity of their incomes or the size of their estates. Actually, those with modest estates will benefit greatly from an estate plan since their families have the most to lose if they face expensive court costs or litigation fees.

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy, many people may think they don't have enough assets to have an estate plan, but once they factor in their bank accounts, their home, investments, jewelry, collectibles, automobiles, real estate etc., they actually do have sizeable assets. Estate planning is very important, especially if you have a combined family, children or grandchildren, a family-owned business, or own real estate. Through estate planning, you can determine who will receive which assets and when; however, if you fail to plan ahead, then your estate will be subject to California's intestate laws and your assets will not be divided the way you would have wanted.
