Only You Know What’s Best for Your Family
Making a will is crucial for almost everyone. Making a legally enforceable last will and testament is not nearly as difficult as most people imagine. Furthermore, having a will can save your loved ones from a long experience with state probate courts, who will then decide how to distribute your assets based on state procedures – rather than your final intentions. A professionally drafted will is the safest method to ensure that your assets and wealth are distributed to the heirs you intend.
Property owned by a married pair is considered “community property” under California law, which means that any assets acquired during the marriage are owned equally by both husband and wife (unfortunately, this includes debt). If one of you dies without a will detailing who receives what, the state’s intestacy laws will decide for you.
