An Estate Planning Guide for CaliforniansYou can find estate planning books that focus on reducing taxes, and basic books that explain the necessary documents in simple terms, but no book deals with the complex issues that many Californians face when putting their estate plans together:
- Prop 13: keeping low property tax rates in the family
- understanding community property and how it affects your plan
- Trump’s tax law: What’s the effect on estate planning?
- international issues (such as people who want to make gifts to family members living abroad, non-citizen spouses, or naming international guardians) and
- blended and non-traditional families.
This one-of-a-kind guide covers everything from wills and living trusts to tax-saving strategies and issues that are unique to people who call California home.
