Estate Planning DocumentsProper estate planning avoids probate, ensures your property is disposed of in accordance with your wishes, and protects you and your health care decision-makers should you become incapacitated. Red Sky Legal offers estate planning document preparation services to attorneys and consumers throughout California. An estate plan enables your heirs to avoid the wasted time expense of probate, especially important during the difficult time when grieving the loss of a loved one who has transitioned from this life. A complete set of estate planning documents also gives your heirs clear instructions to carry out your last wishes, and addresses your future care needs in the event you become incapacitated. Through estate planning, you can establish:
Whether your estate is large or small, you should designate someone to manage your assets and make health care and personal care decisions for you if you ever become unable to do so for yourself. If you fail to plan ahead, a judge will simply appoint someone to handle your assets and personal care. Your assets will be distributed to your heirs according to a set of rules known as intestate succession. Contrary to popular myth, everything does not automatically go to the state if you die without a will. Your relatives — no matter how remote — and, in some cases, the relatives of your spouse will have priority in inheritance ahead of the state. Still, they may not be your choice of heirs; an estate plan gives you much greater control over who will inherit your assets after your death.
