The Importance of Updating Your Estate Plan
Estate planning laws are changing. It is important that you review your existing estate plan to ensure that it is up to date and that you are receiving the full benefits of these new rules. Depending on your particular situation, it may be prudent for you to revise your current credit shelter trusts in order to take advantage of the new estate tax exemptions.
Our firm can help you review or amend a trust or any aspect of your estate plan. Our goal is to help our clients take the necessary steps to avoid probate and ensure that their wishes are carried out after they are gone. If you are already facing probate or need assistance with trust administration, either as a trustee or beneficiary, we can assist you with this as well.
Our Los Angeles estate planning and probate lawyer offers compassionate, personalized legal counsel tailored to your unique needs. Don’t pay the high price of regret; contact the Law Offices of Maria N. Jonsson, PC today.
