Estate Planning

California Estate Planning Lawyers

No one lives forever, but there are legal ways for your wishes to continue long after you have passed away. At Jarvis & Krieger in Long Beach, CA, we assist our clients with all aspects of estate planning.

Estate planning includes drafting a detailed will on how you want your finances and assets distributed. You can also assign durable powers of attorney to a trusted friend or family member for your financial affairs, properties that you may own, and medical directives to be carried out should you become incapacitated.

Setting up a trust as part of your estate plan can mean more than providing money for your heirs after you have passed away. A revocable trust can be set up with certain parameters. If you want your child to attend college or work full time as a qualification to receive the trust, we will help you establish that condition.

At Jarvis & Krieger, we have experience in creating, reviewing, and administrating estate plans, wills, and trusts. Estate planning is a proactive method to ensure your wishes are known and adhered to following your death. Without the benefit of estate planning, your assets and finances could wind up in probate court, which is a more complicated process where you essentially lose your say in how your possessions are distributed among your heirs.

Whether your estate is small or large, advance planning is always a good idea for communicating your desires and attempting to quell family disputes from occurring after your death.
