Wishing all mothers and soon-to-be mothers a wonderful day!

Many of my clients come to me after they, or a loved one, have made a do-it-yourself will or other estate planning documents. Quite often, we spend hours undoing a well-intentioned plan because the internet system or forms they used weren’t able to fully account for family scenarios and dynamics, not to mention specific laws and provisions. Working with an experienced attorney from the start can prevent headaches and save dollars!

The current pandemic has raised awareness of the need to plan for the unexpected. However, few people actually have proper planning documents.

A more recent survey conducted by Caring.com revealed that nearly the same (low) percentage have a will (32%). Which side of these statistics do you want to be part of? #estateplanning #estateplanningattorney #elderlaw #specialneedsattorney #redwoodcityca #advancehealthcaredirective #wills #trusts #powerofattorney

Learn why an FPA is so important (and why having one from just a few years ago may not work) by reading my recent blog post - Don't Risk It: Protect Your Finances From Coronavirus Complications (link below). #estateplanning #powerofattorney #finances #redwoodcityca #covid19 #incapacityplanning https://www.laurenrioslaw.com/dont-risk-it-protect-your-fin

If a loved one passed away leaving their California real property or other assets out of their revocable living trust, then contact the Law Office of Lauren Rios. We can help you collect those California assets for you and your family by using a Heggstad Petition in San Mateo County. This is true even if those assets are outside San Mateo County. Watch this video to learn more.
