FAQs

Why should I have an attorney draw up my Estate Plan when I can have a paralegal or an online service do it for less money?

Due to the complexity of a Will or Trust, questions will most likely arise about the meaning of various parts of the document. Non-lawyers who attempt to answer these questions are breaking the law and could be providing inaccurate information. In order to avoid costly mistakes, it is advisable to work with an attorney when forming your Estate Plan.

If I have a Revocable Living Trust, why do I also need a Will?

The purpose of the Pourover Will is to pour (transfer) assets into the trust if the assets had not yet been transferred to the trust. A Pourover Will names the Revocable Living Trust as the only beneficiary.

Who receives the estate?

You can give your estate to your children or grandchildren (outright or in trust if they are too young to receive an inheritance), make charitable gifts, or provide for the care of your pets. The decision is yours. You should also include a contingent beneficiary in case the designated beneficiary predeceases you.

What is Community Property?

Married couples and domestic partners are subject to community property laws. Community property includes all assets acquired by spouses during marriage while domiciled in California, except for inheritances and gifts made to only one spouse. (Family Code section 760.)

What is commingling?

When a separate property asset or income is used to benefit the community property, it changes the character of the separate property. For example, using part of a separate property inheritance to pay the mortgage on or make renovations to a community property home is commingling of assets.
