Living Trusts

The old saying that the sweet smell of a great deal will be long gone by the time you pay more money to a professional to fix their mistakes. That case can certainly be made for hiring an experienced attorney, not a paralegal or an internet form, to set up your living trust. Not only can this result in disaster due to missing phrases, sentences, or even paragraphs, but it often won't address your specific situation. Please consider using someone with a proven reputation and beware of living trust scams. Every trust is unique.

On a basic level, a living trust is a document in which you name your beneficiaries and how they will inherit from you. The most important reason to have a revocable living trust in California is that it will shield your estate from probate. Trusts do not require probate proceedings and thereby avoid the expense and inconvenience dealing with it. A trust will also enable you to avoid a conservatorship proceeding if you become physically or mentally incompetent before your death.

At the Law Offices of Dezanie Martin, I can set up a living trust to provide your family the maximum financial benefit and bypass the high cost of probate. Without this trust, your beneficiaries can experience a delay of one or more years before they get their inheritance.
