What benefits does estate planning offer? It’s as easy as A-B-C! Avoid Probate – When someone in California passes away with only a will (or no will at all), their heirs must open a costly and time-consuming probate action where a judge determines the distribution of assets. A comprehensive estate plan avoids that process and allows distributions to occur quickly and without court intervention. Beneficiary Designation – Customize who inherits your assets and how much they receive, working closely with an attorney to ensure your wishes are carried out. Creditor Protection – Under California Code of Civil Procedure §336.2, any outstanding creditors of an estate have one year to open a probate themselves. Without an estate plan in place, your creditors can attach to an open probate and take away from what your beneficiaries receive. https://www.danielspitzlaw.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa8955a7ae426d71d9a680/1593552201556-X1M2QCIK3TUR5ZASMO83/image-asset.jpeg Home - Corporate Law Forming and growing a small business and preparing you with customized contracts is the first step towards financial independence.
