I Need to Make a Will or Trust

Orange County Living Trust Lawyers Deliver Personalized Plans
Talking about death makes many Americans uncomfortable. We don’t like to think about our own mortality. So, what do we do? We ignore the subject and hope that it will go away.
Of course, it doesn’t go away, though. Nothing is as sure as the fact that we will all die. And some of us will die unexpectedly, in unforeseen ways.
- If you have a heart attack tomorrow, would your family know whether you want to be resuscitated?
- If you got hurt in a serious car accident tomorrow, could your spouse afford to stay in the family’s home?
- If you died tomorrow, could your adult children divide up your property without arguing?
- If you and your spouse died tomorrow, do you know who would raise your young child?

We create comprehensive estate plans: wills, trusts, advance medical directives, and more
Some people may scoff at the idea of an “estate plan.” They may believe their assets do not warrant an estate plan.
In reality, there’s no monetary threshold for creating a living trust or drafting a will. People create living trusts and wills to protect their families and their assets, without regard to the size of their bank accounts. Creating a living trust and a will is the best way to protect your loved ones and to ensure that your wishes will be carried out if you become incapacitated or die unexpectedly.
We create comprehensive plans that address all of a client’s requirements. Our estate plans are personally tailored to each client’s needs and take into consideration tax implications, family relationships, governmental involvement, health care concerns, and more.
