4worldlovers: Believe it or not, you have an estate. In fact, nearly everyone does. Your estate is comprised of everything you own— your car, home, other real estate, checking and savings accounts, investments, life insurance, furniture, personal possessions. No matter how large or how modest, everyone has an estate and something in common—you can’t take it with you when you die.

When that happens—and it is a “when” and not an “if”—you probably want to control how those things are given to the people or organizations you care most about. To ensure your wishes are carried out, you need to provide instructions stating whom you want to receive something of yours, what you want them to receive, and when they are to receive it. You will, of course, want this to happen with the least amount paid in taxes, legal fees, and court costs.

That is estate planning—making a plan in advance and naming whom you want to receive the things you own after you die. However, good estate planning is much more than that.

My mother had a living trust (from another attorney) that I thought was done badly. We decided to have Joel at the Law offices of Joel Harris look it over to get a second opinion. Joel found several issues with my mother’s trust and advised us to do a new one. He and his staff made the process easy and smooth. Then after my mother’s passing we learned we weren’t going to be able to sell the property because the title company had made an error on the title. I called Joel and he responded immediately, helping us get the paperwork corrected and the situation resolved quickly. Thanks again Joel and to the professional people at Joel Harris’s office who helped us get my mother’s estate settled without a hitch!

Bob is a licensed attorney in California, where he has practiced for over 30 years at Hooy & Hooy PLC helping people and businesses solve problems and achieve successes.

As an experienced practitioner in business law, civil litigation, employment law, real estate law, estate planning, and probate, Bob has had the honor of serving the people of Concord, California, with their varied civil legal needs.

Will is a third-generation attorney at Hooy & Hooy PLC, where he is proud to join the firm to represent the Concord community in litigation, disputes, and estate planning.

Will is licensed to practice law in all California state courts and federal courts in the Northern and Central District Courts. He attended college and law school in California and spent time at a large national firm gaining experience in employment law before joining Hooy & Hooy PLC.

Creating a will is an important step to establish and announce what you want to happen to your children, property, and money after you have passed away. If you die without a will in place, there are laws in California that will dictate how your estate is divided and distributed and who will be responsible for all you have left behind.

A trust can be a handy tool in your estate plan to shield certain types of property from the probate process but may be complicated to set up without the help of a lawyer. Our attorneys can help you decide what kind of trust works best for your goals. We can then assist you with setting up and establishing a trust that will safeguard your assets.

If you are buying or selling a home or facing a legal dispute over property that you rent or own, we are here to help you through the process.

It is essential to have a plan in place for your estate, which will help protect your family and everything you've worked for throughout your life.

We offer a full array of business and corporate law legal services, from formation through dissolution and all that comes in-between.
