Los Angeles Estate Planning Lawyer
Securing Your Assets for Your Loved Ones
There is an old saying that states: "In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Both holds true in estate planning. If you pass away and have over $184,500 in assets, your family may have to open a probate case before the estate can be distributed to your heirs. This would entail a lengthy judicial process and substantial cost to the estate. Your heirs / beneficiaries may be able to avoid this if you set up a living trust.
This action would allow you to avoid the judicial process and, at the same time, keep your affairs private. You may also structure the trust a certain way to provide some estate tax advantages.
There are many things you can do in the present to ensure that your wishes concerning your estate are complied with after you pass away. You can create a will that specifies who should receive which assets. Your will can also specify other wishes, such as who will become the guardians of your minor children (if you have any) after you are no longer around. When you turn to the Law Offices of Kenneth U. Reyes, P.C., a Los Angeles estate planning attorney from our firm can sit down with you and help you create a comprehensive estate plan that would best benefit you and your loved ones.
