Common Concerns in Estate Planning

saving money to invest in house or property in the future

Some of the most notable concerns that clients have when they begin planning for their estate in California include:

Inheritances: How do I manage inheritances I want to enforce with my estate after I am no longer around?

Administration of assets: If you own more than one asset (residential or commercial), you may require ongoing administration of the assets each fiscal year and when it comes to upkeep and maintenance.

Reducing or preventing conflicts: Estates are often the primary source of contention among the loved ones of someone who has recently passed.
Minimizing excessive fees, legal expenses, and taxes: Getting your estate planning in order as quickly as possible can help you to avoid overpaying legal fees, taxes, and high and unnecessary costs for various services.

Wealth preservation: With estate planning, wealth preservation is made possible over decades, if not centuries, when coordinated properly.

The naming of guardians: If you have underage children who will be inheriting your estate (or a portion of your estate) before they reach the age of 18, estate planning can help to secure their future.
