Questions
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
Wills require probate court validation while trusts avoid this process. Trusts allow immediate asset transfer to beneficiaries and offer greater privacy since they aren't public records.
I don't have many assets, so do I still need an estate plan?
Everyone benefits from estate planning regardless of asset size. Plans ensure your wishes are followed, appoint decision-makers for incapacity, and provide clear instructions for asset distribution.
Will my estate go through probate?
Most wills require probate, but properly funded trusts typically avoid this process. Probate can be costly and time-consuming, making trust planning advantageous for many clients.
Do I really need an attorney?
While DIY options exist, an attorney ensures legally sound documents tailored to your situation. Proper planning prevents costly mistakes and addresses complex family or financial circumstances.
What makes the Law Office of Geoffrey Fong different?
