Estate Planning Made Simple: Oscar Vasquez Explains Trusts, Wills, And Probate
Send us a text
Today, I sit down with Oscar Vasquez, a real estate professional with nearly three decades of experience and the founder of Estate Doc Prep, a platform designed to help families create affordable, comprehensive estate plans. Mr. Vasquez explains why 68% of Americans do not have an estate plan—not because they don’t care about their children or assets, but because they simply don’t know what tools exist or how to begin. We talk through the basics of wills, living trusts, probate, guardianship, and the legal documents that determine what happens to a person’s assets and children when they pass away.
Mr. Vasquez breaks down the difference between a will and a living trust, explaining that a will is a simple two-page “I love you, I leave you everything” document that still forces your family into probate court. In contrast, a living trust is a detailed legal contract—often 170 pages or more—that outlines exactly how your assets should be managed, how beneficiaries receive distributions, and how your family is protected. He shares real stories of families who used their trusts to protect children with addiction struggles, children with special needs, and long-term lifestyle patterns—demonstrating how powerful a living trust can be when crafted thoughtfully.
Our conversation also covers probate—what it is, why it exists, and how expensive and time-consuming it becomes. Mr. Vasquez explains that in many states, owning a home automatically sends your family to probate court, costing tens of thousands of dollars and delaying asset transfer for months or even years. We discuss how every state has a minimum threshold—from California’s $184,000 to Colorado’s $60,000—and how simple preparation can avoid financial disaster. He also walks me through guardianship planning, power of attorney, health care directives, and why these documents matter even more when young children are involved.
Mr. Vasquez also breaks down how Estate Doc Prep works. Through a guided process, families can complete a comprehensive living trust at a fraction of attorney fees, with options for self-service, expert guidance, or concierge-level support. The platform includes unlimited updates for 12 months, funding guidance, and phone access to an AI assistant that answers estate planning questions for all 50 states. Mr. Vasquez emphasizes that everyone—not just wealthy families—needs a living trust, because tomorrow is not promised and probate does not discriminate by income level.
