Understanding The Wills Process In California

In California, a will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your passing. It can also designate guardians for minor children and appoint an executor to manage your estate. While drafting a will may seem straightforward, California’s laws are precise and missteps can lead to unnecessary legal challenges for your loved ones. A valid California will must:

• Be in writing.
• Be signed by the testator (the person creating the will).
• Be witnessed by at least two people who are not beneficiaries.

If you pass away without a will, your estate may be distributed under California’s intestate succession laws, which may not align with your wishes.
