Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in California?
A basic estate plan typically includes a will, a durable power of attorney, an advance healthcare directive, and sometimes a living trust. These documents let you name someone to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.
Do I need a trust to avoid probate in California?
In California, assets held in a living trust generally avoid probate, which can save time and money. However, a will alone does not avoid probate. Many people use a revocable living trust to bypass the probate process.
What is the California statutory fee for probate administration?
California Probate Code Section 10810 sets statutory attorney fees for probate based on the gross estate value. For example, the fee is 4 percent of the first one hundred thousand dollars, and 3 percent of the next one hundred thousand dollars. These fees are set by law and do not require court approval.
