Planning for the future is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to protect your family and the legacy you’ve worked hard to build. At OC Wills & Trust Attorneys, we provide comprehensive estate planning services in Huntington Beach tailored to meet your individual needs. Our dedicated team is committed to helping you protect your assets and provide for your loved ones. Whether you need assistance with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or advanced healthcare directives, we offer solutions designed to secure your future. Trust us to guide you through the process, ensuring your wishes are honored.
Wills
A will is one of the most important documents you can create to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are carried out. It allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed, name guardians for minor children, and provide instructions for personal or sentimental items. Without a will, state law determines how your estate is handled, which may not align with your intentions.
At OC Wills & Trust Attorneys, we work with Huntington Beach residents to create personalized wills that reflect their unique goals and family dynamics. We aim to provide you with peace of mind, knowing your assets and loved ones are protected.
Trusts
Trusts are versatile tools that allow you to protect your assets, provide for loved ones, and achieve specific financial or personal goals. At OC Wills & Trust Attorneys, we help local and nearby Huntington Beach residents create customized trusts tailored to their unique needs.
We offer a variety of trust options, including:
- Trusts for Minors: Secure your children’s financial future by managing their inheritance until they reach a specified age.
- Revocable Trusts: Maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while simplifying distribution and avoiding probate after your passing.
- Special Needs Trusts: Protect eligibility for government benefits while ensuring a loved one with special needs receives additional financial support.
- Marital Trusts: Provide for a surviving spouse while minimizing estate taxes for your family.
- Dynasty Trusts: Preserve wealth for multiple generations, keeping your legacy intact.
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts: Remove life insurance proceeds from your taxable estate to reduce potential estate tax liability.
We’ll guide you through selecting the right trust for your circumstances, ensuring your assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes. Trusts can be a powerful way to secure your family’s future.
Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives
Powers of attorney and health care directives are essential tools for ensuring your wishes are respected if you become unable to manage your own affairs. A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint a trusted person to handle your financial and legal matters, such as managing accounts, paying bills, or making critical business decisions. An advanced health care directive outlines your medical preferences and names someone to make health care decisions on your behalf, ensuring your values guide your care.
At OC Wills & Trust Attorneys, we help Huntington Beach residents create these vital documents tailored to their unique needs. Taking these proactive steps can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones, knowing your interests are protected and your decisions honored.
Elder Law and Medi-Cal Planning
Planning for elder care and Medi-Cal is vital to ensuring you or your loved ones can access quality care without depleting your life savings. At OC Wills & Trust Attorneys, we help Huntington Beach residents navigate the complexities of long-term care planning with personalized strategies designed to protect assets and secure benefits. Medi-Cal offers valuable assistance for covering nursing home and assisted living expenses, but if you own a house that is not in a trust, Medi-Cal could force you to sell your home in order to pay back costly medical expenses.
We assist with creating trusts to protect your home from Medi-Cal while preserving your financial legacy. By safeguarding your home from Medi-Cal, you can reduce stress for your family and ensure you receive the care you deserve.
