Estate Planning:
Wills, Trusts, and More
We help California families protect their assets and ensure their wishes are honored with personal estate planning.
Why Estate Planning Matters
Planning for the future is one of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones. At Capital City Wills & Trusts, PC, we guide families across Sacramento and surrounding counties through every step of the estate planning process from drafting wills to creating trusts, so you can feel confident your family and legacy are protected.
Without a plan, California law decides who receives your assets, which can lead to costly delays, family conflict, and outcomes you may not want. Estate planning allows you to:
Decide who inherits your property and when.
Avoid probate court and keep your affairs private.
Protect loved ones with special needs without risking benefits.
Plan ahead for long-term care and Medi-Cal eligibility.
Appoint trusted people to make financial or medical decisions if you cannot.
Wills & Trusts
Wills ensure your wishes are clearly written and legally recognized.
Living Trusts allow your assets to transfer smoothly without probate, saving your family time, money, and stress.
We help you decide which tools best fit your goals.
Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle important financial and legal matters if you become unable to manage them yourself. From paying bills to managing investments or real estate, this document ensures your affairs are kept in order without the need for court involvement. At Capital City Wills & Trusts, PC., we help you choose the right type of power of attorney and draft it to fit your unique needs.
Advance Health Care Directives
An Advance Health Care Directive gives you a voice in your medical care, even if you can’t speak for yourself. It allows you to state your healthcare wishes and name an agent you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf. We guide you through the process to ensure your preferences are clear, legally valid, and provide peace of mind for both you and your family.
Living Wills
A Living Will is a document that outlines your choices about end-of-life medical treatment. It helps your loved ones and doctors understand your wishes, reducing uncertainty and stress during difficult times. We work closely with you to draft a Living Will that reflects your values, so you remain in control of your care and your family isn’t left to make painful decisions alone.
Beyond Documents: Peace of Mind
Estate planning is not just about forms. It’s about clarity and confidence for you and your family. We take time to explain your options in plain English and review documents together until you feel fully comfortable with your plan.
