Take Control of Your Assets

Alisya Clayton • May 18, 2013

After you have passed away, all your property and assets will be distributed. The question is how? A Will and a Trust allow you to decide what happens to your property and your wealth. At the Law Office of Mark Abell, I help my clients throughout Los Angeles County, California to prepare Wills, Trusts, and other necessary estate-planning documents.

Dividing Your Assets

During your life, you have total control over your assets. However, when you die, your Will becomes one of the most important documents that controls your assets and how they are to be distributed. I help my clients create Wills and other estate-planning documents that carefully outline how they want their property to be divided and to which persons.

Helping Your Family Understand Your Wishes

Most people underestimate how their family will react when they are gone. Legal documents like Wills state exactly what should happen with everything in the estate. During the emotional turmoil that comes when a loved one dies, a Will and other critical documents help provide certainty about your wishes.

It can be difficult to imagine ever needing a Will, or making plans for someone else to take care of your children. However, making these wishes known before you pass is necessary.
