Roseville Probate Attorney Explains How Living Probates Can Be Prevented

According to Roseville probate attorney Jackie Marie Howard, many people are unknowingly facing living probates. California residents are facing Living Probates or Conservatorship proceedings in Court every day. Lack of planning is affecting residents by forcing their families and friends into Probate Court for a living probate. 

If you have put off setting up your estate plan for any reason, then you should take care of your estate today and set up an estate plan that will avoid a living probate for yourself. Don’t let job loss, reduced income, family crisis, divorce, or medical issues stop you from taking this very important step.  Contact Roseville Estate Attorney, Jackie Marie Howard, today to find out how you can protect your freedom of choice.

A durable power of attorney and an advance health care directive can help prevent the need for a California Living Probate.  These documents allow you to name someone who will take care of your financial matters and medical decisions if you become incapacitated.  They can prevent a Conservatorship in California, which can save you and your family time, money, grief, and emotional distress.

If you lose capacity and don’t have a durable power of attorney or advance health care directive, you will not be able to choose who will be in charge of your personal and medical decisions or your finances while you are living.  Your family or friends will have to decide and petition the California Probate Court requesting appointment as your Conservator.  All expenses, including filing fees and attorney fees will come out of your pocket. Find out how you can help prevent this from happening to you by contacting Roseville Estate Attorney Jackie Marie Howard at http://www.jackiemariehowardlaw.com or call her office at (916) 773-7373.
