Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a living trust in California?
California probate is expensive and public — statutory fees can exceed 4% of estate value for estates over $1 million. A properly funded revocable living trust avoids probate, keeps estate details private, and speeds asset transfer to beneficiaries. For Beverly Hills residents with real estate, a trust is almost always the right choice.
What is a Special Needs Trust?
A Special Needs Trust holds assets for a disabled beneficiary without disqualifying them from Medi-Cal, SSI, or other public benefits. Assets in the trust pay for enrichment, education, and care beyond what public programs cover. First-party and third-party trusts have different rules, making specialist drafting important.
How much does estate planning cost in Beverly Hills?
Basic wills and powers of attorney typically start around $1,500. Revocable living trusts with funding range from $3,500 to $10,000+ depending on asset complexity. LLCs for asset protection add further cost. Most firms quote flat fees after an initial consultation.
