Comprehensive Living Trust Services
A living trust allows you to maintain control over your assets during your lifetime and ensure a smooth transfer to your beneficiaries when the time comes. Our team prepares every trust document to California’s legal standards, tailored to your specific goals and family needs. Living trust preparation California clients rely on includes drafting, notarization, and recording, ensuring your documents are clear, complete, and legally sound.
We handle a full range of deed types, including Quitclaim Deeds, Interspousal Transfers, Trust Transfers, and Gift Deeds.
Revocable Living Trusts
We prepare a revocable living trust document that can be changed or updated as your life circumstances evolve, giving you full control over your estate. This is the most common type of trust for California residents looking to avoid probate.
Trust Amendments
Need to make changes? We assist with amendments and restatements so your trust stays up to date with your wishes and California law. Whether your family situation has changed, you’ve acquired new assets, or you simply want to update a beneficiary, we prepare the amendment documents quickly and accurately.
Certification of Trust
We prepare a Certification of Trust so you can verify the existence of your trust with banks and financial institutions without presenting your full living trust document. This is a practical necessity whenever you need to move assets into your trust without exposing private details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Living Trust?
A living trust is a legal document that allows you to transfer ownership of your assets into a trust managed by you during your lifetime, and by your chosen successor after your passing.
Do I Still Need a Will if I Have a Trust?
Yes. A pour-over will ensures that any assets not titled in your trust are transferred into it after your passing, since a living trust generally cannot cover assets you forget to fund into it. If you’re weighing whether you need one or both documents, see our full living trust vs. will comparison for a side-by-side breakdown of probate, privacy, and cost.
Can I Change My Living Trust?
Absolutely. We prepare a revocable living trust document that can be changed or updated as your life circumstances evolve, giving you full control over your estate. This is the most common type of trust for California residents looking to avoid probate.
Do I Need an Attorney to Create a Living Trust?
Not necessarily. A registered Legal Document Assistant (LDA) can handle living trust preparation California residents need without the cost of an attorney. We prepare your documents according to your instructions, ensuring they meet California’s legal standards.
