ESTATE PLANNING FAQS
Do I need a lawyer for estate planning in California?
While some forms are available online, only an estate planning attorney can ensure your documents are valid under California law and truly reflect your wishes.
What’s the difference between a will and a living trust?
A will directs how your property is distributed but generally requires probate. A living trust allows your assets to pass outside probate, often saving time and cost.
How much does estate planning cost in San Francisco?
The cost depends on the complexity of your estate and the documents needed. At Spiller Law, we provide transparent pricing and a free consultation to discuss your needs.
What happens if I die without an estate plan in California?
California’s intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed, which may not reflect your wishes. Having a plan ensures you decide who inherits and who manages your estate.
