If you are interested in having a booth at our amazing Expo, please contact Aroos today, in order to ensure space. As you may have noticed, over the past few months we have refreshed our website with many blog updates, informative lists, and options for vendors and visitors.

Love, Publisher, Navid Soheilian

ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS
as a team. You need to make sure that your team is taken care of no matter what. We have had too many people come into our office stating that they never thought this would happen to them, or that they always thought it was clear that because they were married their husband’s/wife’s assets would go straight to them. Unfortunately probate is not always cut and dry like that. This definitely isn’t a fun topic to discuss but you must think about the fact that you want to maintain control of your future, your family’s future, and your children’s future. A Will and Trust is especially important for these reasons: 1. Avoid the Probate System. Anyone that has been involved in a matter that makes it to the probate court, understands that it is a process that you should do everything in your power to avoid. Probate courts serve the purpose of “administering your estate”, and when you die without a will, they will decide how to divide estate without your input, which can cause long, unnecessary delays. The cost of probate can be daunting. With a properly established will, trust and power of attorney, there is no necessity to go through the courts.

Attorney at Law Now that the stress and excitement of the wedding has subsided and the dust has settled, you are thinking to yourself, what do I need to do in order to make sure my new family that I am creating with my significant other is taken care of.
MARRIED? NOW WHAT? PROTECT YOUR FUTURE: 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD HAVE A WILL & TRUST Many people believe that they do not have enough assets to bother with a will or trust. Others believe that probate is something that everyone goes through and it is so far off in the future, you don’t need to worry about it now. That is not the case! If you own ANY KIND OF PROPERTY, you should definitely have a will and trust in place. You should be protecting yourself and your family always. You are about to embark on this journey of life together with your significant other, building a family together, having children and handling life’s twists and turns 48i
Fall / Winter 2015 •
2. Pass your wealth in the manner that you choose, not the manner that the Courts choose for you. If you die without a will, there is no guarantee that your intended desires will be carried out. With a concisely written and poignant will and trust, power remains in your hands while you are alive and you make the decisions on what happens once you have passed.
NIN
3. Save your heirs from the headache and costs of going through the California probate system. While Distinct Law Group is aware that some of us do not want to pay the fee of creating a will and trust, this fee pales in comparison to the fees that will be incurred if you do not take action in establishing your will and trust.
4. Ensure that everyone you want to take care of, is actually being taken care of. This includes family, friends, pets, charities, businesses, employees, etc. The state of California has a finite way in which they will distribute your assets upon you passing. However, with a Will and Trust, you retain control of who gets what and when they get it. 5. Keep your Finances Private. By properly creating a will and trust, your wealth and assets are not made a matter of public record and remain a private matter.
The attorneys at Distinct Law Group are here to help you draft your will and trust in which will provide the framework for distributing your property, establishing who will care for your children and otherwise express your wishes upon your death including any wishes you have regarding burial or funeral arrangements. Your estate plan can also set the considerations for medical intervention should you become incapacitated. This assures that when you are most vulnerable, your wishes will be honored. There are many more details involved in preparing a Will and Trust and this article is meant to only be a quick explanation as to the advantages of having a Will and Trust and is in no way to be construed as legal advice as every individual’s situation is different. Call our office today at 714-546-4600 for a free consultation regarding your specific situation.
