Wills & Trusts

Equal Justice Law Group Will Work With You To Create Foundational Legal Documents That Help You Plan For The Future.

A will is a document that directs how your property is to be distributed at the time of your death. Most people, especially if they have children, realize that they should have a will, but wills have to be probated in the state of California. Probate is a court process that validates the will after your passing and ensures that its contents are carried out correctly. Your family may have to handle this notoriously tedious, expensive process, and they may not be able to receive the inheritance you intended to leave them right away; when they do, it may be severely depleted by taxes, creditors, and court fees.

A trust is a fiduciary arrangement that owns property and assets in a legal entity so they can be used for the benefit of a beneficiary. A designated trustee controls property in a trust. There are many advantages trusts provide; unlike wills, trusts can avoid probate, minimize taxes, and directly transfer assets to heirs. Anyone who owns property should ideally protect it in a trust, but trusts are especially useful for people who own real estate in more than one state, who have children with special needs, who have blended families, or who are entering retirement and may need nursing home care.
