holder is the owner of the remaining funds in the account. Therefore, the bank will automatically presume that your child is entitled to receive all remaining proceeds in the account, and will transfer the account to the child’s name. However, if you wish for any surplus funds held in your joint account to be distributed equally among your children or to a select group of children, you need to make your wishes known prior to your death to avoid family conflict.

An alternative to adding your child to a bank account is to re-title your bank account in the name of your revocable living trust. By adding your bank accounts to your trust, your successor trustee will be able to use the funds for your care if you become incapacitated and access the funds upon your death to pay final expenses. The trust will also instruct that any remaining funds will be distributed to your trust beneficiaries.

When preparing your estate plan, it is essential that you review how all of your assets are titled.

of the Delta. In the last year and half of her life, she lived in a luxury Assisted Living center where she made lots of great friends and truly enjoyed going to various outings, lunches, and, of course, playing Bingo.

Lucille loved taking her family camping at Beaver Creek. Her children would get up early, catch their limit, clean them and she would fry the trout for breakfast. Her other place she loved spending time was Bodega Bay with wonderful friends Emil and Ann Valena, and teaching her grandchildren how to clam and camp. Lucille started the food program at Oakley School, and for 23 years served up snacks, milkshakes and meals.

Under her watch, no child was left hungry, and she was beloved by many students.

Von (Umbert Carl) von Hofen May 29 1934 - March 22, 2023

Von (Umbert Carl) von Hofen passed unexpectedly March 22 at his home in Discovery Bay. Born on May 29, 1934, Von lived his entire life in the San Francisco Bay area, raising a family and building homes for them in Pacifica and Woodside.

From a very young age, Von worked and excelled in residential and commercial construction, and was a well-known and highly regarded figure in the industry during the home construction booms of the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.

In 1974, Von became a general contractor, specializing in high-end custom construction and restoration. His innovation and fine craftsmanship were recognized by the City of Belmont, and his work directly influenced the creation of the downtown development plan.

He was always willing to share his knowledge, skills, and abilities with his children as well as their friends through his involvement in Scouting. He was always generous with his time and enjoyed helping family and friends with everything from small projects to major remodels.

When not on a job site, Von loved boating, camping, fishing, and snow skiing with family and friends. He was an avid water skier, so summer family vacations meant lots of kids and dogs in a boat, racing around the

Delta waterways and Northern California lakes. He could be found launching his boat at Orwoods and Bethel Island from 1952 to the present day.

In 1970, Von’s love of boating led to the breaking of a gender barrier when he became a Mariner Girl Scout leader in Redwood City. His involvement with his children in both Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts spanned more than a decade, and he took on renovation projects at Girl Scout camps in Sonora and Woodside.

Von married Sally in 1954. They had four children and were together 20 years. In 1983, Von married Kathy, and they were together until she passed away in 2016.

Von retired and moved to Brentwood in 2012 to be closer to family. Once in Brentwood, he quickly made friends with his witty comments, humorous tales and outgoing personality. His family called him the “Brentwood Social Director” and marveled at all his activities. They knew they had to “reserve him” well in advance to get a place on his social calendar. Von could be found every weekend exploring a new winery or on a Brentwood dance floor. He always knew where the best live music was.

Von truly lived every day to its fullest, and will be deeply missed by family and friends.

Von is survived by his four children, Patti (Lloyd), Debbi (Jaime), Chuck (Sally), Sandi (Clay), stepdaughter Jill (Tony), 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, as well as his siblings Roger and Adrianne.

A celebration of life will be held April 28 in Brentwood.
