Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Leave home to minor child?

list him as the beneficiary in your will or trust. you should probably also nominate a guardian in the event you pass before your child becomes an adult.

Re: Leave home to minor child?

You name the fourteen year old in the will to receive the house. That being said, it is probably best not to use a will. Whether you use a will or a trust, it should provide that any gifts to a minor be made under the Uniform Gifts to Minors act, or held in trust for the minor until that person reaches the age of majority.

You may want to get my a free download of my Special Report, The 7 Most Common Mistakes Made by the Middle Class in Planning For the Inevitability of Death and the Likelihood of Disability, and How to Avoid Them." You can get it at my site, www.IWant2CreateMyLegacy.com. You should probably also get my book, Create Your Legacy & Save the American Middle Class. It contains the information that I developed for lay audiences in hundreds of seminars to thousands of people. It will answer nearly all of our questions about how to protect a family from the financial catastrophe that can often accompany the inevitabilty of death and the likelihood of disability. Both are terribly important. A lot of people don't realize that conservatorship is the fastest growing lawsuit in America and the average conservatorship lasts 3 years today. That is because medicine has gotten better and better at keeping us "alive" ofen under the worst circumstances.

The book contains a copy of the "LEGACY LIVING TRUST PACKAGE". It is, as far as I know, the only complete living trust planning package written in what I call "people ease" rather than legalese. Anyone reading at a 10th grade level should be able complete the package themselves with the information in the book. It is designed to be valid in all 50 states and even contains forms for making amendments when the desire to do so appears.

The book is $29.95. About the cost of a six minute consultation with me personally. One can download the trust package for $79.95. For more info or to buy the book, go to www.IWant2CreateMyLegacy.com.
