Why should I want to avoid a conservatorship?
Medical science is making great strides, but an unfortunate consequence of longer life spans is many older people cannot manage their own affairs. If you become incapacitated by a stroke or another cause and do not have a trust and durable powers of attorney, your family may have to petition the court to have a conservator appointed for you. As with a probate, the purpose of a conservatorship is actually quite simple – enabling someone to make decisions for you. The problem is that as with a probate, a conservatorship is an expensive and complicated procedure.
Having a living trust and durable powers of attorney almost always avoids the need for a conservatorship. If you become incapacitated, whomever you have named in the trust and durable powers takes over for you without having to go to court. In particular, the “Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care,” one of our basic estate planning documents, will give your family the power to make health care decisions for you, including the power to “pull the plug.”

Lisa Vertz March 14, 2022. I worked with Brandon Johnson and he was very thorough and excellent to work with on a living trust and will. 
Roman Kisz December 21, 2021. Antonio is great. I work in a related industry, but my wife does not. He sat down with us and helped to get our estate in order by walking us through the trust process. My wife was very happy we took the time to protect our family and to get this crucial step in life accomplished. Thanks again!

Joan Riley January 16, 2018. I have just completed my trust work with Mr. Staker and I could not. be happier. I was referred to him by a prominent San Fernando Vally commercial realtor so I had high hopes when I met with him and I was not disappointed. Now I am insisting that my children go to him to make certain that their trusts are in order. Joan Riley
