Our Estate Planning Document Preparation Services
We provide fast, reliable preparation of essential estate planning documents to help you plan ahead with confidence and stay in control of your future. Every document is prepared to meet California requirements for estate planning documents, whether you are starting your plan for the first time or updating an existing one.
Living Trust
We prepare revocable living trusts tailored to your individual needs, helping you avoid probate and maintain control over your estate during your lifetime. Trust documents are drafted to reflect how you want your assets managed and distributed, and for matters requiring attorney review we coordinate with an independent licensed attorney to ensure full compliance with California law.
Will
Our team prepares legally sound wills that clearly outline your wishes for asset distribution, guardianship, and final arrangements. A will is one of the most common estate planning documents for families with minor children or specific wishes about who receives certain property, and we prepare it to meet California's formal requirements for execution.
Power of Attorney
We draft durable powers of attorney that authorize someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This is one of the basic estate planning documents we recommend pairing with a will, since it protects you while you are alive rather than only after.
Deed Preparation
We prepare all types of deeds, from grant deeds to interspousal transfer deeds, ensuring your property transfers are handled accurately and in accordance with California real estate law. Deeds are often the final step in funding a living trust, transferring your property into the trust so it avoids probate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to hire an attorney to prepare estate planning documents in California?
No. As a Legal Document Assistant, we prepare estate planning documents at your direction, which is a more affordable option than hiring an attorney for routine document preparation. We are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice, so if your situation involves something more complex, such as a contested estate or a specialized trust structure, we coordinate with an independent licensed attorney to make sure it is handled correctly.
How much does it cost to prepare estate planning documents in California?
The cost of estate planning documents depends on which documents you need. A basic plan with a will and powers of attorney costs less than a full living trust package, and document preparation through a Legal Document Assistant is typically more affordable than hiring an attorney to draft the same documents, since you are paying for preparation rather than legal advice. Contact our office for a free consultation and a clear, upfront quote based on your documents.
What documents are included in estate planning?
A complete estate plan typically includes a will, a living trust, a durable power of attorney, and an advance healthcare directive, along with any deeds needed to transfer property into a trust. We prepare each of these estate planning documents based on what your situation requires.
What legal documents do I need for estate planning?
Most clients need at minimum a will and a durable power of attorney. If you own real property or want to avoid probate, a living trust and the deed to transfer that property into the trust are also recommended. We can review your situation and tell you exactly which legal documents for estate planning apply to you.
Can I get estate planning documents prepared online?
Yes. We can prepare estate planning documents online for the review and drafting stages, with final signing completed in person or with a notary as California law requires for documents like wills and certain deeds.
