Heather Lynn Law, APC

Heather Lynn Law provides you with the personal attention and dedication you won't find at a major law firm. Choose us to help prepare and plan your estate and final wishes.

A trust keeps your assets from going to probate. Probate can be a long and expensive process where the court settles the distribution of your estate after you pass away.

Probate is an expensive, time consuming process that anyone can go through. Avoid the headache and create an estate plan to protect your assets.

There are many reasons people do not want to think about estate planning: -Fear of facing their own mortality -Rationalizing there is plenty of time -Minimizing their financial situation... -Expecting someone else to handle it for them No matter your age or financial status, it is very important to make sure you have a trust in place to ensure your assets will be handled according to your wishes!

Famous musician Jim Morrison passed away at the young age of 27. At the time of his death, Morrison had a will in place which gave all his assets to his common in law wife, Pamela Courson.

This caused a long legal battle between Morrison's parents and Courson's parents over who should receive the rights to Morrison's estate. If ...Courson had created a trust to protect the assets, a long legal battle might have been avoided. Protect your loved ones and your estate by contacting the Law Offices of Heather L.

Ever wondered what could happen if you don't have a basic estate plan in place? Well, take this celebrity case for example. When famous radio DJ and voice actor, Casey Kasem passed away, he didn't have a Health Care Directive set up which is part of any basic estate plan.

It's never too early to start your estate plan and it's always a good time to make sure that it is up to date. These are two important lessons illustrated by the tragic outcome of the Florida rapper, XXXTentacion. Less than a year before his passing, the 20 year old rapper created a will to protect his assets. However, the rapper did not update his will in time to include his unborn child. XXXTentacion may have not had the time to update his will before his tragic passing bu...t you might. Take the time to call the Law Offices of Heather Holmes to create or update your Estate Plan.

So excited to be ranked in the top 3 !

I seriously love my clients !! My wife and I were recommended Heather by a few financial advisors I know. Heather is a pro! Thorough, extremely competent and organized. My wife and I thought it was kind of fun. Fun like when you work with a great CPA every year to file taxes. She answered all our questions, made sense of the importance and the mechanics of a Living Trust. We felt prepared and at ease regarding our estate especially for our children. We highly recommend... her. You wouldn't go see a trust attorney to help you with your accident claim, so don't go see a criminal lawyer to create your Trust. Oh and she brings the Goodies. If color-coordinated signing isn't organized enough, she brings her own scanner to scan everything there at signing. That machine was awesome. I just ordered one myself for my line of work! She also provides you with an elegant binder for your Trust documents. Personally I think it's so nice, it can be added as decor in your home office. Those two items itself would have won me over from the beginning . Thanks Heather! See more

Effective January 1, 2020, the small estate provisions will change as follows: Probate Code section 13100: Increases the transfer of personal property under the Small Estate Affidavit provision to $166,250. Probate Code section 13151: Increases the transfer of real property under a Petition to Determine Succession to Real Property to $166,250.... The good news is that the previous limit of 150k has increased to the $166, 250 mark, allowing more estates to avoid probate. The bad truth remains, however, that if you own a home in California, and die without a trust, this limit will not cover you, and everything will still end up in probate. Please prepare today, so your family does not pay for it tomorrow.

Once considered the "fastest woman of all time", olympic runner Florence (Flo Jo) Griffith Joyner broke records around the world. In 1998, she tragically passed away due to a seizure. It was said that the olympic runner had a will at the time of her death, however, it was never located. As a result, Joyner's family had to go through the probate process with no idea of what Joyner really wanted. This caused tension among the family that eventually led to the judge appointing a third party to administer the estate. If Joyner had properly stored her will, a messy probate process could have been avoided. Save your family and be the person in charge of where your assets go.
