Divorce: Updating Your Trust and WillAt Stolar & Associates in Los Angeles, our divorce lawyers provide clients with thorough and comprehensive legal counsel, addressing all issues related to the dissolution of marriage. One area that you should not overlook during this stressful process is estate planning. Even if your relationship with your spouse is amicable and you have agreed on terms of divorce it is important to have an experienced attorney review your situation in order to protect your children and reflect your change in relationships. You must update your life insurance policy, will, and any trusts to ensure that the state of California will distribute property and assign guardianship of your children according to your wishes in the even of your death or disability. Your will should take into consideration your single status and the possibility of any claims on your estate by your ex. It may be appropriate for you to establish a trust to secure your children's inheritance or simply to name new administrators/executors in the current will and trust.
