Let estate planning lawyer Rebecca Sommer help you and your family review your options and craft detailed, meaningful estate solutions that work for you.
Trusts are legal arrangements that allow a portion of your assets to be designated and held for a certain purpose and are managed by either yourself or a third party.
Trusts hold assets which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as charitable contributions, a grandchild’s future education, or allowing a surviving spouse to benefit from wealth after you’ve passed on.
Some of the biggest benefits of a trust for California residents include avoiding probate (the court process that handles all of the stuff you’ve left behind if you have a will instead of a trust or didn’t plan at all), ensuring someone can step in to manage your assets if you become incapacitated so they don’t have to go to court for a conservatorship, and ensuring your assets are handled the way you want.
With a background in financial planning, estate planning lawyer Rebecca Sommer is prepared to help you understand and carefully draft a variety of trusts, including:
A revocable living trust allows you to establish, amend, and even revoke a trust during your lifetime. Trusts in this category typically remain within your control and can still help loved ones avoid probate after your passing.
Attorney Rebecca Sommer can work closely with you to ensure that your revocable living trust is drafted, maintained, and tailored to your wishes and specifications and your loved ones’ needs.
