Common Questions

For many California homeowners, a Living Trust is essential to avoid the costly and time-consuming probate process. If you own real estate or have assets exceeding the statutory limit, a Trust is often recommended.
We operate on a transparent flat-fee basis for most estate planning packages. This means you'll know exactly what the investment is upfront, with no surprise hourly billing for phone calls or emails.
Typically, the process takes 4-6 weeks from our initial consultation to the final signing. We can accommodate expedited timelines if urgent circumstances arise.
