Frequently Asked Questions – Granite Bay Estate Planning
Do I need an estate plan if I live in Granite Bay?
Yes. Every California adult should have at least a basic estate plan, regardless of age or wealth. Granite Bay residents often have significant assets – real estate, retirement accounts, investment portfolios – that require careful planning to protect. Without a will or trust, California’s intestacy laws determine who inherits your property, which may not align with your wishes.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and requires probate court proceedings, which can take 12-18 months in California and cost 4-7% of your estate value. A revocable living trust avoids probate, provides privacy, and allows you to manage your assets during incapacity. Most Granite Bay families benefit from a living trust, especially given typical property values in our area.
How much does estate planning cost in Granite Bay?
We offer transparent, flat-fee pricing starting at $1,500 for a basic will package and $2,500 for a comprehensive living trust package. Pricing varies based on complexity. We’ll provide exact pricing during your free consultation. Unlike some firms, we never charge by the hour – you’ll know exactly what you’ll pay upfront.
Do you accept walk-in clients?
Yes! Our Granite Bay office welcomes walk-in clients, though we recommend calling ahead to ensure an attorney is available. We also offer scheduled appointments for those who prefer to plan ahead.
How long does the estate planning process take?
Most Granite Bay clients complete their estate plan within 2-4 weeks from the initial consultation. Complex estates with business interests or significant assets may take longer. We work at your pace to ensure you understand and are comfortable with every decision.
