Living trusts in California: Can anyone give a step by step procedure of creating a living trust in California, including links to forms etc etc.
Thomas’s answer: I concur that you need an attorney to craft an living trust to suit your specific circumstances, but it need not cost you thousands of dollars either. My firm provides cost effective estate planning geared to middle income families who need help that won't break the bank. Check out our link below.
Domestic Partnership AND Community Property Waiver: I understand that Domestic Partnerships are subject to Community Property laws in various states like California, Nevada, Washington, etc. If a Community Property WAIVER is signed (waiving "all rights, obligations and interest under any and all community property laws"), what are the effects? Does it effect debts, income taxes, legal responsibilities, etc? My (future) domestic partner is currently living abroad and we want to avoid potential complications that Community Property laws might have on us regarding income taxes, income earned abroad, future debts (a house purchased by one of us), etc. What will (and won't) this waiver do?
Thomas’s answer: You may consider a Domestic Partnership Agreement (akin to a prenuptial agreement) that addresses the very issues your concerned about. My firm focuses on these types of contracts and LGBT issues. We are located in Long Beach and would be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process.
