Estate Planning Overview

California Law Firm Helping You Plan for the Future

Myers, Widders, Gibson, Jones & Schneider, L.L.P. (“MWGJS”) offers comprehensive estate planning, probate and trust administration services. In the estate planning area, the firm offers a full range of services, from drafting wills and living trusts, durable powers of attorney and health care directives to designing and drafting complex estate plans for individuals with substantial estates who wish to maximize property transfers to their families while minimizing gift and estate taxes. We can also help with probate matters, including plans to avoid probate court completely. An important part of our practice is estate planning for business owners whose personal wealth is concentrated in their businesses and assisting clients in achieving their succession planning objectives.

Lifetime Planning for Your Estate

Estate planning, simply put, is the collection of steps you need to take to make sure that your heirs are provided for in the best possible way, including lifetime planning as well as disposition of property at death. Estate planning is carried out with legal documents such as wills and trusts; it typically involves an attorney, and may be complicated if you have substantial assets. However, every estate plan should start at the same point: decide who needs your support and how you want to provide for them. Although it may be difficult to sit down and plan for the day when you will no longer be here, it is essential and a real show of love for your family.

Changes in Estate Planning, Federal Estate Law, Gift Taxes, and Benefits.

Recently, the firm has been advising clients on the new changes in the federal estate and gift tax law, as well as assisting clients who have accumulated substantial retirement/employee benefits in designing plans that successfully accomplish their long-term estate planning objectives. The firm also offers trust administration services, including asset allocations, sub trust funding, conservatorship, and preparation of federal estate tax returns.
