Estate Planning and Living Trust Attorney in Huntington Beach, California

Huntington Beach homeowners can plan their estate with Vinh Doan Law Office, APC. We prepare living trusts, wills, powers of attorney and health care directives in English and Vietnamese, and every step is available by Zoom.

Estate planning for coastal homes and second properties

Homes near the coast carry high values, which raises the cost of probate when a home is not in a trust. Many families also own a second home, a vacation property or land in another state. Property in another state can require a separate probate there. A living trust that holds each property lets your family avoid those extra court cases.

What we prepare for Huntington Beach families

• A revocable living trust, built around your family and your property
• A pour-over will, so anything left out still ends up in the trust
• A financial power of attorney and an advance health care directive
• Deeds and written instructions to move your home and accounts into the trust
• Trust administration and probate help for your family after a death

Points worth knowing in Huntington Beach

• Each California property needs its own deed to the trust. For property in another state, we tell you what is needed and when to involve a local attorney.
• Moving your home into your own revocable living trust does not by itself trigger a property tax reassessment in California.
• If you rent out a vacation property, a trust lets a successor trustee manage it if you become unable.
