What is an Advance Health Care Directive? An advance health care directive or “Advance Directive” is a legal document that authorizes an individual to make decisions regarding health care, medical attention and personal care for you in the event that you cannot. An Advance Directive is an important component of a well-drafted comprehensive estate plan that should also include, at a minimum, the following: Revocable Living Trust. Pour-over will. Power of Attorney. HIPAA authorization. What the Two Parts of an Advance Directive? In California an Advance Directive is made up of two components: The appointment of an Agent for Healthcare; and Individual healthcare instructions. Your Advance Directive is still legally binding even if only one of the two components is present.  What is an Agent for Healthcare? An Agent for Healthcare is a person who is appointed to be responsible for making healthcare decisions if you lose the ability to do so. Your Agent for Healthcare will follow your Individual Healthcare instructions detailed in your Advance Directive.  To find out who can make an advance health care directive and how to make it official read the rest of this post on my website by clicking the button below.

FAQs
What is Probate?
Probate is a lengthy and expensive court process where the Court oversees the distribution of property. Many people think their assets will only go through probate if they die without a will. While that is true, if you die having only a will and not a trust, your assets will also go through the probate process and become public record.
How do I have the trustee removed?
Trustees are bound by the fiduciary duties outlined in the California Probate Code. If you believe a trustee has breached his or her fiduciary duty, you may be able to seek a court order removing the trustee from their position.
What happens to my children if I die?
If you have children under the age of 18, it is imperative that you have a will naming a Guardian for your children. The person appointed as Guardian of your minor children will work closely with the Trustee in following instructions you have laid out in your comprehensive estate plan. Having these components in place ensures as smooth of a transition as possible in a tumultuous time.
What do I do if the trustee is breaching their fiduciary duty?
If a trustee has violated any of their duties, a beneficiary may have a claim against the trustee. With these claims, the beneficiary can seek an order from the court removing the trustee or charging the trustee to return any funds wrongfully taken from the trust.
Do I still own my assets if I place them in a Revocable Living Trust?
Yes. You are still in control of your assets so long as the Trust is revocable. To ensure that your trust is effective, you and your attorney will work closely to make sure all your assets are properly placed into your trust.
This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.
