We specialize in living trusts - helping families take care of families - with 20 years of experience drafting legal documents, perfect English, and Vietnamese interpreters available for professional translations. Owning a home as joint tenants sounds like a good idea. But when the last joint tenant passes, your children may end up having to hire a lawyer and deal with probate. Why avoid probate? Probate is expensive and it takes months before assets are available. But ...the statutory probate attorney fees through a living trust are zero, and transfers are immediate. We save you money by preparing the trust and deed documents that most families want, and we do it for a price that makes sense.

Take care of your family. Set up a living trust. I went to the bank yesterday and was talking business with a young man behind the desk (late 20s) who did not know my line of work, at first. He was lamenting that his brother had just died (mid 30s) and that for the past several months he (because he’s the banker in the family) has had to deal with his brother’s house. I listened, because that's what I do. Among the other unpleasant tasks at the time, he found himself ha...ving to find a lawyer because his brother did not have a living trust. The first lawyer quoted a fee of some $17,000.00 to take the case through probate. The young banker could not believe that the charge was so high, but he read the statute and found out that that’s what the lawyer can charge in addition to filing fees and everything. He didn’t want to have to lose that much money from his brother’s estate, so he found another lawyer who said he would do it for $6,000.00. But he came to hate working with that lawyer who wouldn’t answer the phone, and wouldn’t return messages, and when he did return messages he was rude and almost angry that he was disturbed. The probate proceeding is still going on, and my young banker is still miserable. Without even knowing what I do, he told me that the very first thing he will do when this is over is to get his own living trust. As I sat there, I watched a decent young man having to deal with the tragic accidental and untimely death of his brother. That, alone, was too much misery for him. Then, having to find a lawyer who would treat him well and not take advantage of him at the worst possible time in his life it was painful for me to watch. In most situations, with a living trust the transfers can be automatic and nearly free; no need for a lawyer, and no need to wait for months. I hope nobody misunderstands me. There are plenty of good lawyers out there, and I actually know quite a few, myself, and I work with them. But the question is this: Why would anyone want to put his or her family through what this young man was having to go through? As he told me, not only was it really unpleasant and for lots of reasons, it was a waste of his brother’s money money that the family could have used but went, instead, to the cost of a court proceeding that was totally unnecessary in his case if there had been just a little planning a living trust.

With the median value of a home in Orange County now at $716,118.00, if you do not have a living trust then your children may well be looking at probate fees of $17,322.36 on that median-valued home. (See Cal. Probate Code 10810) That's like just giving away over $17k of your money ... your money that your children will not get. Another way to look at it is that you will be giving your children a house and also a bill for $17,000.00 at one of the most difficult times in their lives. Additional properties? Higher value? Read the statute. Do the math. Come see us. Let us set up a living trust for you and your family.
