Filippi Law Firm, P.C., provides legal services for residents of Lincoln, CA, in estate planning, probate, trust administration, and trust litigation.
Estate planning is a legal process that allows you to dictate what will happen to your assets, finances, healthcare, and legacy while you have the capacity to do so. Although it is a popular misconception, an estate plan is not just for end-of-life matters; documents like a power of attorney allow you to choose someone to make decisions for you in the event that you are unable to do so due to incapacity or simply being out of town. An estate plan is an excellent option to have because it allows you to choose exactly what you do and do not want to happen.
If you opt for a comprehensive estate plan, its contents go beyond drafting a will. It can include documents such as last will and testament, pour-over will, revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, testamentary trust, special needs trust, durable power of attorney, and a range of healthcare documents such as advanced healthcare directives and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) authorizations. Your attorney will walk you through the importance of each document and answer any questions you may have.
Without an estate plan, the probate court will make important decisions on your behalf. The state of California will distribute your assets under intestacy laws. Intestacy is the state of dying without a will. This default plan may not align with your wishes, cause tough situations for friends and family, and burden them with unexpected expenses and time-consuming matters.
Our mission is to guide you every step of the way as we work together to create the perfect estate plan for your needs. An estate plan provides peace of mind by ensuring that your loved ones will be provided for and your wishes will be carried out.
