What is a Proper Estate Plan?

A proper estate plan is more than just a Living Trust — it’s a complete system that protects you and your family during life and after death.

It includes:

✅ A Revocable Living Trust to avoid Probate, Conservatorship and control who inherits.
✅ A Pour-Over Will to back up the trust.
✅ Durable Powers of Attorney for finances.
✅ Health Care Directives and HIPAA releases for medical decisions.
✅ Proper Trust Funding to make sure your assets are protected.

Together, these documents keep you in control, protect your loved ones, and ensure your wishes are carried out — without court involvement.

I have created thousands of Revocable Living Trust Estate Plans over the past 30 years. Contact me now at (559) 625-4205 for a free consultation

Death Plan (What Most Attorneys Provide)

Only avoids probate after death
Leaves your family powerless if you become disabled
Can force loved ones into expensive conservatorship court
Fails to protect the surviving spouse if you pass first
Allows assets to go “sideways” — to in-laws, or even strangers
Children inherit outright → exposed to divorce, lawsuits, and predators
Often sold at exorbitant fees for inadequate protection
Frequently missing key documents (Pour-over Will, Power of Attorney, Health Care Directive)
Clients left to handle trust funding themselves
Ignores the most dangerous threat: $13,656/month nursing home costs
