Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Wills, trusts, conservatorships
As a senor citizen, I have no one to handle my financial affairs if I become incapacitated. I need to make a will or trust, but have no one to name as executor (of will) or trustee (of trust). I have read that attorney can be named for these, but also that successor trustee can handle financial affairs (from trust) if I become incapacitated. Could an attorney do this and what would be their fee for such services? Also is it always necessary to contact next of kin for burial or can executor or trustee be used for this; my having only one siblng whom I don't want to have any control over my affairs, even though he will be named as beneficiary.

Re: Wills, trusts, conservatorships
Yes, you can use an attorney for these things if the attorney is willing. If you are desireous of learning all about these things from a short book written for the non-professional, try reading "Create Your Legacy & Save the American Middle Class." You can find it at www.YourLivingLegacy.info. Otherwise contact an attorney with whom you would like to work.
