Why You Should Consider A Living Trusts California
  • A living trusts California can be an essential
    part of any estate plan, particularly if you own
    real estate in the state or have substantial
    assets to pass on to your heirs upon your death.
    A living trust keeps your assets separate from
    your legal will so that they can be handled more
    easily by your loved ones after you pass away.
    This also helps avoid probate costs and fees,
    which are paid to the state instead of private
    parties.

What Is A Living Trusts California?
  • A living trusts California (also called an inter
    vivos trust) is a legal entity that comes into
    existence during your lifetime. It allows you to
    avoid probate, which means your heirs can obtain
    title to the property immediately after your
    death without having to go through court
    proceedings. If you want complete control over
    who gets what after you die, or if you have
    substantial assets, a living trust is probably
    right for you. All states offer living trusts as
    of 2018 however, check with an attorney in your
    state before choosing one. Additionally, remember
    that tax consequences may affect whether its
    best for you to keep your property in a revocable
    or irrevocable trust.

How Do I Make Sure My Assets Are Protected?
  • If youre reading this, its likely that at some
    point in your life you or someone you love will
    need long-term care. But even if you dont end up
    needing nursing home care, there is another
    scenario where a Living Trust can be incredibly
    valuable If one of your children or family
    members needs long-term care, you might have to
    decide whether to provide them with financial
    support. No parent wants to see their child
    living in poverty because of illness or
    injuryand sometimes providing monetary support
    ends up being beneficial for both parties.
  • However, before helping your child out
    financially by paying their medical bills or
    buying them food and shelter, you might want to
    think about establishing a Living Trust first.

What Does My Living Trust Cover?
  • No, you dont need a lawyer to create a living
    trust. Living trusts are not technically legal
    documents, so they do not require any official
    legal seal or signature. However, there are often
    assets you will want to transfer into your living
    trust that are held by someone else (like stocks
    or life insurance). If you are transferring any
    assets into your living trust that belong to
    someone else (like an account in another persons
    name), then it is likely that those third parties
    will require official paperwork from you proving
    that you have ownership of those assets before
    they will turn them over to your control. This
    can be resolved with a simple letter from your
    attorney verifying that yes, these particular
    assets belong to you and no one else.

Do You Need A Lawyer To Create A Living Trust?
  • Creating a living trust is actually something you
    can do on your own. If youre willing to do some
    research and work out all of those pesky legal
    words yourself, then go ahead and knock yourself
    out! The internet is full of guides for self-help
    living trusts, as well as other free tools that
    might help you get started.
  • Note If at any point in your research you come
    across a website that offers to create your trust
    for a fee, think twice before handing over any
    moneybecause what theyre doing is probably
    illegal.

  • Living trusts california should be created by an
    attorney and never should cost more than hundreds
    of dollars (at most) for first-time clients.
    Avoid living trust scams at all costs. There are
    plenty of legitimate lawyers who will offer
    low-cost services to first-time clients, but
    there are also scammers lurking around every
    corner just waiting to take advantage of folks
    trying to set up their own trusts.
  • Make sure you do your due diligence if it seems
    like things are getting off trackif anything
    starts feeling fishy, its best not to pursue it
    further. Your best bet is always going with
    someone who has experience setting up living
    trusts or who works with an office where other
    people have used their services
    successfullycheck Yelp or Google reviews if
    possible! Just make sure everything looks
    professional and above board before you pay them
    any money whatsoever.
