Mr. Becker is a Probate and Estate Lawyer. His firm prepares Wills & Trusts, handles court supervised probate matters and administers Living Trusts.

Probate is a court-supervised process for transferring a deceased person's assets to the beneficiaries listed in his or her will. It is a common process for those that do not establish a Living Trust. Probate is generally expensive, time consuming and is not private. Lawyer's fees and Executor's commissions are based on a statutory fee schedule. A probate may cost more than the management and distribution of a comparable estate under a living trust. Time can be a factor as well. Probate proceedings generally take much longer than the administration of a living trust. Probates are public. Your estate plan and the value of your assets will become public record. Estate planning involves assets and various forms of ownership & titling of those assets. There are many issues to consider when planning an estate including: how assets will be managed, when certain assets will be transferred to others, and to whom those assets will pass. In the case of families with minor children estate planning addresses more than the handling of assets as the needs of the minors take precedence. Often times, through the establishment of a living trust, the downsides of probate can be avoided and a long-term plan for the family can be put into place. CA Bar # 183059

Estate planning nightmares? Unfortunately, some of them are all too real.

A living trust that was never properly funded. Beneficiary designations that haven't been updated in years. A family discovering that probate may be necessary when they thought everything was taken care of.

These aren't just Halloween stories. They're situations that can create real complications for families.

The good news? Many can be avoided with proper planning.

Joint tenancy may seem like a straightforward way to transfer property after death, but there are reasons it may not be the best choice.

Potential creditor exposure and tax consequences, including the treatment of step-up in basis, are important considerations.

Every family's circumstances are different, and understanding how property ownership affects your estate plan can help you make a more informed decision.

Generational wealth can provide tremendous opportunities for your children and grandchildren — from education and healthcare to giving them a financial foundation for the future.

But can you leave too much?

I think that’s an important question. Estate planning isn’t necessarily about leaving your children as much as possible. It can also be about deciding how and when they receive an inheritance and what you ultimately want that wealth to accomplish.

A thoughtful estate plan can provide for your family without necessarily giving them everything all at once.

For many California families, the home is one of their most valuable assets.

A living trust can provide a way for the successor trustee to manage the property during incapacity and after death, whether the home needs to be sold, refinanced, or transferred to beneficiaries.

Without proper planning, families may end up dealing with probate court or other complications surrounding the property.

During an initial consultation, I discuss these options with clients and why properly planning for the family home is such an important part of an estate plan.

Having a living trust and having your home properly connected to that trust are two different things.

If your home is intended to be held in your trust, it’s worth confirming that the title to the property reflects your estate plan, particularly if you’ve purchased or refinanced the property since your plan was created.

It’s one of those details that can be easy to overlook and an important thing to check when reviewing your estate plan.

More than 20 years later, I still enjoy coming to the office.

One of the things I value most about my practice is the relationships I’ve built with clients and their families over the years. Estate planning is personal, and I’ve had the privilege of helping many families through different stages of their lives.
That’s a big part of why I still enjoy what I do.

One thing many families don’t realize about probate in California is that statutory compensation is generally calculated based on the value of the estate without deducting debts such as a mortgage.

On a $1 million estate, the statutory compensation can be $23,000 for the attorney and another $23,000 for the executor.
And as the size of the estate increases, those numbers can continue to grow.

Planning ahead can help families understand their options for avoiding probate and the costs that can come with it.

Life changes, and sometimes your estate plan needs to change with it.

Marriage, divorce, new children or grandchildren, changes in your assets, or simply the passage of time can all be good reasons to review your documents.

Even if nothing major has changed, it’s worth making sure your estate plan still reflects your wishes and the people who matter most to you.
