- Q. Steps for transferring property title and setting up a living trust in CA for joint tenancy after probate.
- A: Your parent should not transfer her real estate until she understands all the tax consequences of doing so — including both capital gains and property tax consequences of such transfers. You are wise to tell your parent that she needs a trust so her children (including you) will not have to spend 3 - 4 years in Probate Court after she passes away. However, trusts and all the other legal documents needed for an estate plan should not be prepared by people without legal training. One reason is that using plain English words in estate plans often causes more problems than they solve. For example, the word “issue” is a legal term of art that means someone’s descendants starting with their ... Read More
- Q. Can I submit only relevant pages of subpoenaed document in CA trust probate case?
- A: If I were the lawyer reading a response to a subpoena where only part of a document was submitted, I might wonder why the entire document wasn’t submitted. What are they trying to hide? Also, what a non-lawyer thinks is responsive or relevant may not be what a lawyer thinks is so, and vice versa. There are different strategies from “give the least possible information” to “flood the other side with so much information that they might not find the needle in the haystack.” If it does not harm a person in any way, it is often best to give the entire document. But this decision needs to be based on the circumstances in each situation and what the subpoenaed documents say.
- Q. Guidance needed for navigating trust distribution, pension continuation, and property issues in California.
- A: I'm sorry for your situation. I generally tell clients that Trust Administration matters involve 10 steps and step 9 is when the assets are distributed (given) to the beneficiaries (the people named to inherit assets.) To be sure you don't get yourself into legal trouble by taking your inheritance BEFORE all of your loved one's bills and taxes are paid off, and the other steps are followed, you need to get the assistance of an attorney who handles Trust Administrations. If you cannot afford an attorney, check to see if there is a legal aid center in your area. Try asking your local county Bar Association is there are any legal aid or "pro bono" (free) legal centers near ... Read More
