5 years ago this weekend, our lives were changed forever by a ferocious series of wildfires. We are grateful for the generosity & resilience of our community. Special thanks to our 1st responders and to the 2nd-responders, the nonprofits who always step up when people need help.

5 Good Reasons to Make a Will (& Trust)
Put it at the top of your list!

1. CONTROL YOUR WISHES - or the State will!

2. SAVE TIME, MONEY & STRESS

3. DECIDE WHO GETS YOUR ASSETS

4. PROVIDE FUNERAL INSTRUCTIONS

5. LEAVE A LEGACY

#NationalMakeAWillMonth

MYTH: Making a will is for new parents, the elderly, or people with health issues.

FACT: All adults need a will regardless of circumstances. No matter your age, financial situation, or current health status.

An Estate Lawyer can help you make a plan!

Will vs Trust - Differences?
Highlights…

A WILL
Effective post life
Identifies assets
Names guardians for kids/pets
Probated & public

A TRUST
Effective during your life
Avoids estate taxes on assets distributed after you pass
No Probate so private
