Los Angeles Estate Planning Attorneys
Coordinate the living trust with a will, powers of attorney, health-care directives and the way property is actually owned.
What is this service?
Answer first
Estate planning is broader than preparing a trust. It identifies who can make decisions during incapacity, who receives property after death and which legal document or ownership arrangement controls each asset.
A coordinated estate plan may include
- Revocable living trust
- Pour-over will
- Durable power of attorney
- Advance health care directive
- Nomination of guardians where appropriate
- Trust transfer and funding documents
The useful question is not simply “Do I have the document?” It is “Will the people, assets and transfer instructions actually work together when the document is needed?”
