Living Trusts Attorney In Anaheim, California
What Is A Living Trust?
Living trusts are estate planning tools that can be created and funded during your lifetime. Unlike a testamentary trust, which only takes effect after death, a living trust allows you to plan ahead while maintaining flexibility and control. Amy Heroux-Gonzalez works with clients in Southern California to help determine whether a living trust fits their estate planning goals.
With a living trust, you retain control over the assets placed into the trust and can manage, change, or revoke it while you are alive. This type of planning can offer a streamlined way to provide for loved ones and may help avoid the costs and delays associated with probate. A living trust can also make it easier for beneficiaries to receive assets without unnecessary court involvement.
If you are considering a living trust as part of your estate plan, Amy Heroux-Gonzalez can walk you through your options and explain how this tool works within California law. Contact the office to schedule a consultation and learn more about whether a living trust is right for you.

What Benefits Do Living Trusts Provide to My Heirs?
Living trusts can help provide for children or other beneficiaries without requiring the estate to go through probate. Probate can be costly and time-consuming, sometimes lasting many months or longer. When heirs live out of the area, the administrative demands of probate can become even more burdensome. Amy Heroux-Gonzalez works with clients in Anaheim, California to structure living trusts that help simplify the transfer of assets.
By holding assets in a living trust, beneficiaries may receive their inheritance more efficiently and with fewer delays. Living trusts can also play a role in reducing certain tax and administrative costs, helping ease financial concerns during an already emotional time. This type of planning allows families to focus on personal matters rather than court procedures.

Does a Living Trust Benefit Me Now?
In addition to allowing you to maintain control over your assets, a living trust can also provide planning protections if you become unable to manage your affairs due to illness or injury. Without a living trust or a financial power of attorney in place, the court may need to step in and oversee how your assets are managed. Amy Heroux-Gonzalez helps clients in Anaheim, California use living trusts as part of a plan to avoid unnecessary court involvement.
With a living trust, you can name a trustee—often a trusted family member or friend—to manage trust assets on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Because a living trust is revocable, you can update its terms or dissolve it entirely as your circumstances or goals change. This flexibility allows your plan to evolve with your life.
A living trust offers a straightforward way to ensure the people you trust can manage your assets when you are unable to do so yourself. Amy Heroux-Gonzalez works directly with clients to explain how living trusts function and how they can bring reassurance and continuity.
