Protecting Your Loved Ones and Your Assets in California

Estate planning is the process of figuring out the best way to pass your estate to the people you want and love. California has complex laws that govern the realm of estate planning. Many issues come in to play, such as taxes, wills, trusts, IRA’s, real estate property, corporations, community property, annuities, etc. Finding the path for your personal situation is imperative to ensuring that you reduce the taxes paid and maximize the estate that you ultimately pass on.
