Cerritos Estate Planning Attorney

Don’t Let the Law Decide for You

Without a comprehensive estate plan in place, California state law determines who inherits your property, who makes decisions for you if you become incapacitated, and who manages your affairs. That might not be what you want.

With the right plan in place, you decide:

• Who will receive your property and when they’ll receive it
• Who will make medical and financial decisions if you can’t
• How your loved ones will be cared for after you’re gone

A properly prepared will, trust, power of attorney and advance directive can spare your family unnecessary conflict, confusion, and expense. Most importantly, an estate plan ensures that your wishes, not the court’s, are what guide the process.

Thoughtful Planning for Every Stage of Life

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or the elderly. It’s for anyone who wants to protect their family and make things easier for the people they love. At the law office of Georgia N. Kezios, we help clients with all aspects of estate planning in Southern California, including:

• Wills and Trusts – Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, avoid probate where possible, and protect your loved ones with clear, legally sound documents.

• Advance Directives and Powers of Attorney – Designate trusted individuals to make medical and financial decisions if you’re unable to do so.

• Probate and Trust Administration – Guide families through the legal process of settling an estate or managing a trust with efficiency and care.

Each plan we create is tailored to your specific needs. We take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and help you make confident, informed choices. If you already have a plan in place, we can review it to ensure it still reflects your current goals, your family structure, and any changes in the law.

• A lengthy, costly probate process
• Disputes among heirs or family members
• Tax issues or missed opportunities for asset protection

By taking action now, you can ensure your wishes are respected and your family is cared for in the way you intend.
