Creating A Trust
Is An Act Of Love

It is an unfortunate fact that tens of thousands of Americans die every year with no will or other estate planning documents in place. At my law firm — the Law Office of Barbara J. Dibble, in Fullerton — I get that: No one wants to think about their own death. However, failing to plan ahead when you are healthy and of sound mind can create stress and financial strain for the loved ones you leave behind.

If you die without a will or a trust — what is known as dying intestate — California’s laws of intestacy will determine how many of your assets are distributed. This may or may not match your wishes. Creating a trust will ensure that you are in control of who receives your assets after you are gone. A trust also allows your heirs to avoid going through probate, which can take months or even years if a family member contests the court’s decision on who receives assets.  

Using The Right Tools To Meet Your Needs And Achieve Your Objectives

Does Your Existing Plan Accomplish Your Goals?

If you have an existing estate plan in place that has not been reviewed in the past five years, it is a good idea to make sure it still achieves your objectives. The circumstances that influenced the decisions you made may have changed. Finances change over time, people get married and divorced, children are born and people pass away. Together we can review the details of your current estate plan and see if there are any changes you want to make.
