Do I Need a Will?

Many people think that they are too young to start thinking about estate planning tools like wills and trusts. Some people think that estate planning is only for the elderly and well-to-do.

At the Law Offices of Darrell C. Harriman, we encourage people to think differently. We believe strongly that estate planning is not merely for the rich and elderly. Any person who has accumulated assets in his or her life should have, at a bare minimum, a last will and testament and other basic estate planning documents.

Our firm helps people of all incomes with estate planning services. Whether you need basic estate planning or more sophisticated planning for a larger estate, we have the experience and legal know-how required to meet your needs.

What Is the Value of a Living Trust?

A living trust can help you and your heirs reduce tax exposure and probate. In California, estates of $100,000 or less do not need to go through a formal process of probate. Property and assets owned in a trust are not considered toward that $100,000 cap.
