Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Torrance do?
An estate planning attorney helps you create legal documents to manage your property and medical care if you become incapacitated or pass away. Common documents include a last will and testament, a revocable living trust, a durable power of attorney, and an advance health care directive. California law requires specific formalities for these documents to be valid.
Do I need a trust or just a will in California?
A will is simpler and less expensive, but it must go through probate in California, which can take months and cost thousands of dollars. A revocable living trust avoids probate and keeps your estate private. Many Torrance residents choose a trust if they own real estate or have assets over the California probate threshold of $184,500.
How long does California probate take?
California probate typically takes 9 to 18 months from start to finish. The process includes filing a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court, giving notice to heirs and creditors, and distributing assets. An estate planning attorney can help you structure your estate to avoid probate entirely.
