Does it matter who will care for children should you die? Do you care who gets your money if you die? Do you care who gets your property if you die? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then YOU NEED A WILL!!! Those who pass away without a Will or Trust will have the state decide the answers to these questions. Having a Will allows you to choose who will distribute your estate, and gives you power as to how and when your estate will be distributed. A Will allo...ws you to decide who will be the guardian of your minor children. Having a Will is often less expensive during the distribution proceedings because you have the option to avoid bonding fees, and can deter potential litigation among family members. There are many pitfalls involved in dying without a Will. Don’t waste any more time wondering if it is necessary. Call me today and let’s discuss the legal reasons why a Will may be necessary for your particular situation. 661-206-1432 #YouNeedAWill #AnnaFWells #BakersfieldAttorney

Attorney versus a paralegal or document preparer service: I am often asked if the documents I prepare are " boilerplate", or why a service like "legal zoom" shouldn't be used instead of hiring an attorney. The answer is clear. An attorney is required to represent your particular interests, must maintain ongoing legal education, are bound by rules of ethical and professional conduct, and in the event of fault are required to provide redress to the client.... When using a document preparation service to prepare legal documents, you are required to agree they are not acting as your attorney, that their service is no substitute for an attorney, no documents will be reviewed for accuracy, and they won't apply the facts to your particular legal situation. Finally, after receiving the document, should something happen, there is absolutely no liability on their part. I strive to maintain a practice that provides reliable and affordable estate planning services and legal documentation. Don't leave yourself or your estate vulnerable.
