Frequently Asked Questions
-
A will requires probate — a court-supervised process that can take months and costs a percentage of the estate's value. A revocable living trust allows assets to pass to beneficiaries without probate. For most California residents with real property, a trust is the more efficient option.
-
A California trust does not automatically govern Mexican assets. Separate or coordinated planning is typically needed for property in Mexico. Christian can structure an estate plan that addresses assets in both jurisdictions.
-
Review your plan after any major life event — marriage, divorce, birth of a child, significant change in assets, or a move to a different state or country.
