Wills

No one wants to think that they will leave loved ones behind if they pass away. However, it is important to make sure that your family is protected if anything happens to you. If you don't have a will then now is the time to consider it. If you have made a will you may want us to review it for you to make sure it is legally sufficient. If you do not have a will the court system will decide who gets your money and property. Do you want this to happen?

A will is a document that contains your wishes as to how your property will be distributed after your death. Any person over age 18 should consider a will regardless of their health or situation. A will expresses your wishes concerning how your property is to be distributed. It is a legal document containing the names of the people you want to give your property to. The people you want to give your property to are called beneficiaries.

A will is one way to make sure that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes. A will must be placed into probate court. Probate is the approval or acceptance by the court of how your assets are to be distributed. The court has discretion to grant "probate" which is confirmation that the will is valid and accepted. If a person dies without a will in place then the laws of California will apply. If you die without a will in place then you have died "intestate". If you die intestate then the court decides on who receives your property. More often then not, it will not be according to your wishes.
