Law Offices Of James Zhou

Divorce
Child Support
However, the extent of protection offered by a trust with a spendthrift clause will depend upon state law. Under some states, certain creditors are still allowed access to a trust. This could include a beneficiary’s obligations for alimony or child support, or payments to creditors who have provided certain “necessities of life” to the beneficiary.
Premarital Agreement
Most people want to know that if their spouse remarries, the plan for children or loved ones is protected, and not lost to a new spouse. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to have the estate plan require the surviving spouse to sign a prenuptial agreement if they want to maintain control of the assets when they remarry. The plan can make this a recommendation, or it can be as severe as removing the spouse as successor trustee or even as a beneficiary of the trust. This is obviously a counseling discussion with your advisors, and typically works best when both spouses have the identical provision for the other.
Guardianship
Living Probate is a term used to describe what happens to those who become mentally incapacitated without proper planning in place. In that case, another person must be appointed to make financial and other decisions for the incapacitated person because he or she is no longer able to make those alone. This process of arranging for someone to make decisions for the incapacitated person is called a guardianship or conservatorship, depending on the jurisdiction, and is a process supervised by a probate court. In some jurisdictions, a “conservator of the person” is appointed to oversee decisions pertaining to the incapacitated person’s body, while a “conservator of the estate” is appointed to oversee decisions pertaining to the person’s financial affairs.
Spousal Support

Business and Corporate Law

Limited Liability Companies
In today’s litigious society, there is virtually no way to anticipate how your assets are exposed to potential creditors. If you own a business or practice a profession (medical, legal, accounting, engineering, or architecture), it is truly impossible to foresee the financial pitfalls that exist. Even though many businesses are operated as corporations or limited liability companies (which traditionally offer protection from business debts), there is a growing trend toward attaching certain business liabilities to the business owner.

Estate Planning
The materials, content, and information contained on this web site are intended to provide general information (not advice) on estate planning issues. This website is purely a public resource of general California information (intended, but not promised or guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date). It is not intended as a source of legal advice or to answer specific legal problems you may have. You should not act upon or rely on information on this website without the advice of competent legal counsel. The LAW OFFICES OF JIMMIE L. JOE expressly disclaims all liability related to actions taken or not taken based on any or all of the contents on this website.
Wills
Trusts
Typically, one of two things will take place. If you have no plan at all, or if you plan with a will, your estate will go through probate. If you plan with trusts, your estate will go through trust administration.
Power of Attorney
Because a will becomes effective only upon death, it does not address what happens in the event you become mentally incapacitated and can no longer handle your financial affairs. With a Will-based estate plan, attorneys typically utilize a Durable Power of Attorney in which one or more persons are designated as the Agent for the Principal who is granting the authority. If there is no Durable Power of Attorney, or in the event the Power of Attorney is not accepted by one or more financial institutions, a disabled person’s loved ones might have no alternative but to file a petition with a court to be appointed as a Guardian and/or Conservator for the disabled person. If approved by the court, the Guardian will be granted specific powers to administer the disabled person’s assets, and often further authorized to handle the disabled person’s daily personal needs.
Probate
In order to help the public find the right attorney for a given situation, the California State Bar Association implemented a certification program several years ago to allow attorneys who specialize in various areas of the law to obtain a certification that would allow the public to identify when an attorney has demonstrated expertise, knowledge and experience in a particular area of practice. The State Bar recognizes eight specific areas of specialty practice. Only those who have met very strict requirements of certification may hold themselves out as “legal specialists” in these areas of law. Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law is one of the specialized areas of practice recognized by the State Bar.

Tax Law
There will eventually be a final income tax return prepared for the deceased for the year of death. You should consult your professional advisors for help with this step. A review of returns for the past three years will help identify income tax issues and, in addition, may alert the Personal Representative or Trustee to additional assets.
