What documents do I need for estate planning?

When should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events: marriage, divorce, birth, death, significant asset changes, or moving to California.
Do I need estate planning if I’m not wealthy?
Yes. Estate planning isn’t just about wealth—it’s about avoiding probate, protecting minor children, making medical decisions, and ensuring your wishes are followed.
What happens if I die without an estate plan in California?
California’s intestacy laws determine who inherits. Your estate goes through probate court. The court appoints guardians for minor children. This process is expensive and time-consuming.
How is estate planning different from a will?
Estate planning is comprehensive: trusts, powers of attorney, health directives. A will is one document that goes through probate. Estate planning typically includes a trust to avoid probate.
