Great info. Knowledge is power we all need it. Thanks fir being clear and easy to understand
Thank you for always sharing your knowledge freely to help folks around the country. I always enjoy your videos!
Due to a very slow probate process with my step-son (resided in Dallas County, Texas) that took 3 months just to approve the will, I decided to reorganize my assets to bypass probate. My situation is pretty simple, my wife is my primary concern. I designated POD or TOD on all accounts and assets. The only things not included is essentially personal property which with nothing of remarkable value, I know the courts will easily accept any small number as reasonable. Anytime I wish I could tweak the PODs to share with or be designated to other people if I wanted to. We do have wills, advance directives, etc. but I am very pleased to not subject survivors to a probate process.

Glad to hear you have so many great options to avoid probate on assets in California! It is great you are taking advantage of them! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
I am a Beneficiary in a Will and have been left with All Balance of Monies in the Deceased’s Bank Accounts. I am still confused as to what that means exactly.
People, do not fail to structure your assets to transfer to who you want to have them. Will should be option #15, not #1. Many others are out there who may drag the will fight out until every penny goes to multiple attorneys. This attorney is giving you great options #1-10, so listen up.
NO! You walk in with your valid ID and the death certificate.
