 Hey, here's a little secret. If you want to avoid probate, don't die, because if you don't die, then you don't have to deal with probate. And if you don't have to deal with probate, then you're not stuck with legal fees based on the fair market value of your estate in California. The bigger your estate, the bigger the legal fees. Your estate, including your assets, debts, and beneficiaries, becoming public record. If you have a will, we're in Superior Court. If you don't have a will, we're in Superior Court, but a judge decides who gets what, who doesn't get what. And that's crazy. And probate takes place between nine months and two years. Two years. And that means you're going from the lawyer's office to court, then you wait. Then back to the lawyer's office. Back to court and you wait some more. You get the point, but you can avoid all of this with a living trust-centered estate plan. And that means no court dates, no excessive legal fees, no judges, no hassle, no public record. Basically, you've got nine months to two years of your life back. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Avoid probate. Get a living trust-centered estate plan.
