Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
In California, if the property is held by him with others as joint tenants with right of survivorship, then the surviving tenants receive his interest. Otherwise, his property would go to whomever he leaves it to in a will or, if it has been transferred to a trust, wherever the trust directs it to go after his passing. If he has no will or trust, the property goes to his heirs according to the laws of intestacy.

I do not want to make a will; I want to give everything I own to my children before I die, how do I do that?
