Avoid California Probate Court With a Properly Executed Revocable Living Trust

The Law Office of Chris C. Clauson has represented hundreds of clients execute their estate plan. If a single person or a married couple owns real property in the state of California, it should certainly be titled to a Revocable Living Trust. As an attorney who routinely practices litigation in these Courts, I can affirmatively state that California Probate Courts are to be avoided. These Courts are notoriously slow and move at a monolithic pace. Those that find themselves embroiled in a legal matter in California Probate Court will commonly hire expensive lawyers because the courthouse can be a scary place. When each beneficiary has legal representation, this often leads to an exacerbation of conflicts and legal issues that results in large expenditures of monies. All of this can be avoided with the proper execution of a living trust.

A Revocable Living Trust offers a seamless transfer of wealth upon passing. A Revocable Living Trust offers numerous other benefits such as a stepped-up basis for capital gains tax advantages for certain asset classes; simplified methods for complex distribution schemes; and peace of mind.
