NRI Estate Planning
NRI families face unique challenges: assets in two countries, OCI status, FEMA regulations, and families split across continents. Govind specializes in estate plans that work across borders.

A will becomes effective after you die and must go through probate court — a public, often lengthy process. A living trust takes effect immediately, lets you manage assets during your lifetime, and transfers them to heirs without probate. In California, where probate can take 12–18 months and cost 4–8% of the estate, a living trust is almost always the better choice for homeowners.
