Estate Planning for the Unexpected

If you’ve worked hard to build a life in California — bought a home, raised a family, helped your neighbors — protect what you’ve built.

We’re Legal Document Assistants (LDAs) — we’re not attorneys and don’t give legal advice. But we can prepare affordable, professional paperwork at your, at your direction, that helps you stay ready, steady, and family first.

💼 What Documents Might Help?

Here are a few commonly requested documents we prepare for the unexpected. They can help make sure your family isn’t left in legal limbo, should you need to leave the country or pass away. 

✅ Revocable Living Trust

Why it matters:
A trust can hold title to your property so that if something happens to you, your named successor takes over — no court, no probate. That means fewer delays, more privacy, and more of your estate preserved for the people you love.

✅ Power of Attorney (Finances)

Why it matters:
This allows a trusted person — often a spouse, adult child, or sibling — to handle your banking, bills, or business affairs if you’re unable to. It can be critical if you’re detained, hospitalized, or deported.

✅ Advance Health Care Directive

Why it matters:
This lets you choose who can speak to doctors and make medical decisions if you can’t. Without it, loved ones may face delays or be denied access — especially if they’re not legal next of kin.

✅ Nomination of Guardian for Children

Why it matters:
This form allows you to say who should care for your children if you can’t — whether temporarily or long-term. It won’t guarantee what a court will do, but it carries real weight and provides guidance and protection.

✅ Final Disposition Instructions

Why it matters:
This tells your loved ones your wishes for burial, cremation, or other final arrangements — so they’re not left guessing or arguing.

🧾 What About a Will or Deed?

Depending on your situation, we can also help prepare:

• Simple Wills — to name heirs and guardians

• Transfer-on-Death (TOD) Deeds — to pass your house directly to a loved one without probate

• Grant or Quitclaim Deeds – to add someone to your property as a co-owner

🐾 Bonus: Pet Guardianship Forms

Yes, you can even name someone to care for your dog, cat, or goats. We live in East Kern too — we get it.
