An estate plan is an extremely powerful tool that allows you, not a probate court, to determine how your assets will pass or how your medical decisions are made.
However, estate plans are not just for end-of-life issues because a well-designed plan directs other matters throughout your life.
It is imperative for you to have an established and comprehensive estate plan.
There are many legal strategies available to develop your estate plan to manage issues with your taxes, assets, medical care, and much more.
Managing probate and trust administration of an estate is complex work that requires strict attention to the intricate details of the law, tax code, and adherence to the terms of the last will or trust agreement.
As a personal representative of a probate estate, or a trustee of a trust, or both, you can be held personally liable for any mistakes you make in the performance of your fiduciary duties.
As a personal representative of a probate estate and/or a trustee of a trust, you can be held personally liable for any mistakes you make in the performance of your fiduciary duties.
A pour-over will is an estate planning tool used to ensure the wishes you have documented in your trust agreement are followed even if something were defective.
For example, a defect can occur if you were to forget to fund your trust properly, title a new asset in the name of the trust, or if something were to go wrong with the trust itself that made it legally inoperative due to a failure of the document, or a change in the laws.
A pour-over will operate to "catch" all of the assets you failed to place into the assets of the trust and have now fallen into your probate estate.
A will is typically just one part of a properly designed estate plan.
If you do not have a will, your estate will pass "intestate" according to the laws of California.
However, even if you have a will or choose to have one drafted on your behalf, there are a few things you should know.
If you have minor children, a will is used to determine guardianship if both parents have passed.
This keeps your family from waging war with each other over the care of your children and allows them to expend their energy on the children's behalf instead.
