What happens if
I die without a Will or a Living Trust?
If you die intestate (without a will),
California laws of descent and distribution will
determine who receives your property. That plan
almost never reflects your actual wishes. Some of
the built-in protections you want to keep your
family members happy with each other may be omitted.
Either a will or Living Trust allows you to alter
California’ s default plan to suit your personal
preferences.
Ever hear of the expression a ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure? It was never
more true than with probate. With a LT your costs
are the set up costs and the time retitling assets
and keeping it up to date...something which you can do
on your own.
