August is recognized nationally as Make-A-Will Month — the perfect time to create or update your will and ensure your loved ones are protected. It's one of the most important documents you'll ever sign, yet over 60% of Americans don't have one. Without a will, the state decides who gets your assets, and the probate process can be long, expensive, and stressful for your family.

As a Licensed Legal Document Assistant, I can help you prepare your will, living trust, advance healthcare directive, and other estate planning documents — professionally and affordably, without the cost of an attorney. I'm licensed, bonded, and insured in California.

Estate Planning Services I Offer:

• Last Will & Testament — Name guardians for minor children and specify how your assets should be distributed.
• Living Trusts — Avoid probate and keep your estate private.
• Advance Healthcare Directive — Ensure your medical wishes are honored if you can't speak for yourself.
• Durable Power of Attorney — Designate someone to handle your finances if you become incapacitated.

Watching your child head off to college is one of life's biggest milestones — exciting, emotional, and full of last-minute packing. But amid buying dorm supplies and scheduling move-in day, there's one critical step most parents overlook: once your child turns 18, you can no longer legally make medical or financial decisions for them.

Why Your 18-Year-Old Needs Legal Documents

Under California law, when your child turns 18, they're a legal adult — even if they're still on your health insurance, living under your roof, or listed as your dependent. Without the right documents:

• You can't access their medical records or talk to doctors if they're injured or hospitalized — even in an emergency.
• You can't manage their finances — bills, bank accounts, leases, or insurance claims — without legal authorization.
• You may need court intervention to make decisions in a crisis, which is expensive, slow, and stressful.
