Last week, I was working out with my best friend, and we were talking about how our weeks were going. I told him about how I had a long and arduous day at work, and he said that he had been very moody and upset the entire day. Then he said “But most days I just don’t deal with my parent’s untimely death very well”. I asked what he meant, and he told me that both his parents had been killed in an automobile accident when he was a very young child. I hadn’t known this during our entire 6 year friendship, and didn’t know what to say.  It got me thinking about how I need to find an estate planning attorney in Sacramento, for my parents and myself as I have two young children. You see news stories all the time where parents die without a trust causing the estate to go through probate not to mention the custody of the children. I have contacted a reputable estate planning attorney in Sacramento named Mitchell Ostwald.
