Advising Clients Who Want to Safeguard Their Estates

Have you taken the time to write out your last will and testament so that your final wishes are carried out after you pass away? At Devereaux Estate Law, we are here to use our knowledge of the law to ensure our clients have the wills they need to make sure the state of California and their loved ones respect their wishes and distribute their assets to the beneficiaries they have selected. If you don’t want the state of California to decide who receives your property and assets after you die, then you need to consult with us so we can draft a valid will that spells out how you want your estate to be handled when you are no longer around.

What Do I Need to Include in My Will?

If your goal is to ensure that your estate is distributed in accordance with your wishes and to minimize legal disputes among family members, your will should:

Be clearly written
Name at least one executor
Clearly state which beneficiary receives what
Include the names of any children you want to exclude from the estate
Include all of your property and investments
Specify trusts you have established
Name a guardian for any minor children
