Orange County Estate Planning Attorney Advises Local Business Partners On Wills, Living Trusts

The latest South Orange County Chamber of Commerce meeting featured speaker Dawn Stark an Orange County estate planning attorney. Dawn touched on a number of great subjects and helps clarify some of the more confusing aspects of estate planning.

Dawn first spoke of wills and emphasized that if you do not have one you should definitely have one put together. Most people Dawn stated do not have a will and those that do are a much better position than those that don’t. She also emphasized that a will does not cover everything when you pass away and that if you want to help with the rest you’ll need a living trust. A living trust will ensure any real property you own stays out of probate after you’re gone.

Dawn then shifted gears a bit and spoke of upside down properties in placing those in the trust. Dawn stress that it’s incredibly important to put such properties in a trust because property worth fluctuates and can depreciate as well as a appreciate. Doing so also gives your beneficiaries the ability to deny the property if it will put them under financial strain. Putting your affairs and assets in order well before you pass away not only gives you peace of mind but will help ease the burden on kin once you’ve passed.

Dawn closed her speech by stating and re-emphasizing just how important it is to avoid letting the government take control of your hard-earned funds and property after you’ve passed away. Call Dawn and she will help ensure that your family legacy lives on! In an effort to meet and discuss these important matters further Dawn is holding an open house on June 11 as well as multiple seminars over the summer to better educate Orange County residents on wills and living trusts.
