Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Los Gatos do?
An estate planning attorney prepares legal documents like wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives. They also advise on California probate avoidance and tax strategies for estates over the state exemption amount.
Do I need a living trust in California?
A living trust can help your estate avoid California probate, which is often time-consuming and costly. Many Los Gatos residents use trusts to keep their affairs private and speed up asset distribution to beneficiaries.
