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.

We came to Filippi Law Firm needing assistance with a probate matter. Along the way my wife and I decided to get our affairs in order as well. Having never been through either process we were not very knowledgeable and in need of serious guidance. Jen, Katia, David and the rest of the team have been very informative, helpful, caring and patient with us while we navigate this unexpected journey. Thank You team Filippi!!

Walking into the Filippi Law Firm you are greeted by a friendly and welcoming receptionist. Any concerns regarding picking the right law firm are quickly erased. Jim Filippi and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They are extremely knowledgeable in Estate Planning, the reason for my need of an attorney. After obtaining my estate information they quickly got to work on updating my Revocable Living Trust and associated documents. Their fees were extremely reasonable for the time and effort they put forth. I highly recommend the Filippi Law Firm.
