Revocable Living Trusts

Planning your estate shouldn’t feel overwhelming. At Stephen B. Clemmer Law Office, we provide clear, compassionate guidance for setting up Revocable Living Trusts that protect your assets and your family’s future. Whether you’re concerned about probate, incapacity, or family confusion down the line, a living trust offers peace of mind.

Let us help you make informed decisions—without legal jargon, court delays, or unnecessary costs.

• A revocable living trust is a legal estate planning tool that allows you to retain control of your assets during your lifetime and smoothly transfer them to your beneficiaries after death.
• It bypasses probate, meaning your loved ones avoid costly and time-consuming court involvement.
• You can change or cancel the trust at any time while you’re alive and competent.
• A successor trustee (someone you choose) will step in if you become incapacitated or pass away.
• It keeps your affairs private and ensures that your estate is managed according to your instructions—not court orders.
• Especially in California, where probate can stretch over 1–2 years, a trust can save your heirs significant time and money.

We’ve helped over 20,000 Southern California families protect what matters most. Here’s what sets us apart:

• 36+ Years of Experience focused on estate planning.
• Clarity Over Complexity: We explain every document in plain English—no legalese.
• Local Expertise: We understand how probate courts operate in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
• Responsive Support: Emails and calls returned within 24–36 hours, every time.
• Personalized Planning: Every trust is tailored to your goals—not a one-size-fits-all package.

Avoid court interference, fees, and delays by allowing your assets to pass directly to your heirs.

You stay in full control of your assets and can change your trust at any time.

A successor trustee steps in if you’re unable to manage your affairs due to illness or injury.

Keep your estate matters out of the public court record.

A clearly written trust minimizes confusion and reduces the chances of family disputes.
