California Estate Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in California

California asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.

Blended Family Estate Planning in California

California blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.

Business Succession Planning in California

California business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.

Charitable Trusts in California

California charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.

Digital-Asset Estate Planning in California

California digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.

Spouse's Elective Share in California

California elective share: Community property + omitted-spouse statute (no traditional elective share).

Estate-Tax Planning in California

California estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.

Guardianship and Conservatorship in California

California guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Superior Court (Probate Division) — "conservatorship" rather than "guardianship" for adults. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.

Healthcare Directives in California

California healthcare directives: Advance Health Care Directive (combines living will + healthcare POA).

Heirs' Property in California

California heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.

Intestate Succession in California: What Happens If You Die Without a Will

If you die in California without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse takes ALL community property.

Living Trusts in California

A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Most estates with real estate or significant assets — California probate is famously slow and expensive typically benefit most.
