When a Family Matter
Turns into a Business

Caring for the aged and infirm was once a family affair. Now, it is a business. In documenting this change, reporters Robin Fields, Evelyn Larrubia and Jack Leonard and researcher Maloy Moore examined records of more than 2,400 cases handled by California's professional conservators since 1997. They also conducted hundreds of interviews - with probate lawyers, judges and independent experts as well as people under conservatorship and their loved ones (Read More)

Let's face it...We're all going to die.  It's not a topic we like to talk about or even think about, BUT WE MUST because, like it or not,  IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.  As written in the Book of Common Prayer, "...in the midst of life we are in death..."  Maybe not today or tomorrow, but what about in 10 or 20 years? 

Remember, accidents happen every day, that's exactly why they are called accidents; they are completely unpredictable.  Seriously, have you watched the evening news recently?

Now...take a moment and think about it...Do you have a child, spouse, parent or other loved one you want to provide for after you pass away?  A favorite pet that needs special care?  

If so, then the big question is...How Prepared are you?  

  • Did you know that if your total gross estate is worth over $100,000 when you pass away, then everything you own will have to go through Probate before it passes to whomever you desire?  THAT'S GROSS ESTATE, NOT NET
  • Did you know that if you pass away without a Will, then the California Probate Code will decide who receives everything you own?  YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE SAY IN THE MATTER

REMEMBER:  A WILL TELLS THE COURT HOW TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR ASSETS, BUT

 

A WILL STILL REQUIRES PROBATE.

Only a Trust avoids Probate AND allows for extensive tax benefits!

 
...Don't Let What Happened to Terri Schiavo Happen to You...
"If we learn anything from this case, it's that everyone, no matter how old they are, should make their loved ones aware of whether they want an artificial way of sustaining life,"

"The harder part is when the tube has already been put in for other reasons. It's very, very difficult psychologically for families to see the fluids and the food in the tube stopped."
 
Don't Throw Your Money Away in Probate !If you do not take the time  now to make your decisions for later, the state will make them for you through a very expensive process called probate.  

This can mean horrible results for your family,
for your assets, for your own medical well-being.

Under California State Law, if you do not have a Trust or an Advanced Healthcare Directive the State can and will do the following:

(1) Make your medical decisions for you, 
(2) Decide who, if anyone, is entitled to your property after your 
     passing, and 
(3) Charge excessively high statutory fees for administering your 
     estate.

Without proper legal direction, the State will follow the Probate Code in determining who gets your property and the cost to transfer it to them.
