Frequently Asked Questions – Promontory Estate Planning
Why do Promontory homeowners need estate planning?
With homes valued at $1.5M – $4M+, Promontory residents have significant assets requiring protection. Without proper planning, your estate may face probate (12-18 months), high costs (4-7% of estate value), and potential estate taxes. A revocable living trust avoids probate and provides privacy for your family.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust for high-value estates?
A will requires probate court proceedings, which are public, time-consuming, and expensive. A revocable living trust avoids probate entirely, provides privacy, and allows seamless management during incapacity. For Promontory estates, a trust is essential.
How much does estate planning cost for Promontory families?
We offer flat-fee pricing starting at $2,500 for comprehensive living trust packages. Complex estates with business interests or advanced tax planning may require additional services. We provide exact pricing during your free consultation – no hourly billing surprises.
Should I update my estate plan if I just bought a home in Promontory?
Yes. Purchasing a high-value home requires updating your estate plan to ensure the property is titled in your trust and protected from probate. We help Promontory homeowners integrate new real estate into their comprehensive estate plans.
