Do I need an estate plan if I'm not rich?
Yes. Estate planning is not just about wealth — it is about protecting your family, ensuring your medical wishes are honored, and preventing the courts from making decisions that should be yours to make. Anyone who owns a home, has minor children, or cares about what happens to their belongings should have a plan in place.
In California, even a modest estate can get stuck in probate court if it is not structured properly, resulting in unnecessary delays and legal fees for your loved ones.
