Draft your Living Trust

All property over $150,000 will enter probate in California. A living trust will keep your estate out of probate and provide instructions for the administrator of your trust on how you desire your assets to be distributed upon your death.

Harold G. Ayer can draft valid California living trusts that ensure your intentions are honored. He will also help you fund your living trust so that your assets are properly titled and placed into your living trust.

Draft your living will and last will and testament

A will is essential at every stage of your life. Your living will sets the parameters for medical intervention should you become incapacitated. This assures that when you are most vulnerable, your wishes will be honored.

Your last will provides the opportunity to distribute your property, establish care for your children and otherwise express your wishes upon your death. A will is necessary if you intend to leave property to a person or entity other than a blood relative, such as a domestic partner, a friend or a charity. If you die without a will, the court determines how your property is distributed, who cares for your children and even what happens to your pet – making decisions that might not reflect your desires.

As your life changes, so might your estate plan. You may need to update your will throughout your life. Harold drafts valid codicils that address changes in your financial situation, marital status, number of children, philanthropic interests and general lifestyle decisions.
