Its amazing what this outfit is capable of performing. It's equally amazing how capable they are of sizing up a situation and foreseeing the correct legal course to take and it's outcome. They helped be with inheritance and title change issues that I was completely lost with. Ian broke the entire ordeal of Probate down to easy to swallow talk and simple sign here, initial here action. They made sure to keep me in the loop during the process, and were able and willing to answer every question and concern I had along the way. I have and will recommend California Document Preparers for all non-contentious legal needs to all.

Thanks to Susan in California Document Preparers' Walnut Creek office for your prompt and affordable service. Attorneys charge a lot more for even a straightforward living trust and will. I now have all the documents I need at an affordable price. I will use your company again for legal document needs.

Corey was so patient and understanding as he explained everything to me. I had 2 appointments and got everything done. I have the documents sent to my family, my healthcare provider and my original copies that CDP placed in a neat, tabbed binder for my easy reference. Fantastic service!

Got a Deed transfer done at California Document Preparers, in and out quickly. Good service and good value. Only drawback is the hard to find parking around that section of the Lake, but you can park at WholeFood, grab a coffee there then journey up to the office to get your paperwork done.

Ian at California Document Preparers simplifies the process as much as possible by providing easy-to-understand workbooks that help you get organized. He takes it from there and does all the paperwork and processing with the court.

I took my parents to California Document Preparers for a Will, Trust, Health Directive and Power of Attorney. Lynne was patient, explained everything slowly and clearly and went the extra mile to make my parents feel comfortable. Great interpersonal skills helped us get through this process as a family. I can't say enough good things about the California Document Preparers, who provided peace of mind for me and my parents.

What outstanding service! Ian was responsive, professional and easy to work with. Why pay megabucks to a lawyer when California Document Preparers can do this for significantly less with great customer service and professionalism. Highly recommended!

California Document Preparers provides a great alternative for those going through a divorce who don't want to/can't spend the money on an attorney. The pricing is really fair. We were given an estimated timeline for completion and they met it. They expedited the filing of our documents to help us meet our deadline. We were impressed with CDP’s customer service and have referred friends and colleagues to them.

California Document Preparers’ Dublin office is very professional, and I highly recommend Val, Tom and Sue. I created a Living Trust, which includes a Power of Attorney and Advanced Healthcare Directive. Protect your estate from Probate and make life easy for your heirs. No more procrastination!

Never knew that the process of putting your husband on a second mortgage was such a big deal, but California Document Preparers walked us through it. We could have done it ourselves, but eliminating the risk was way worth the minimal expense.

Divorce is never easy. However, it was very straightforward, quick-responses for a complex divorce. I did hire an attorney but saved a ton of money by using them only for a consult and having Ian do the preparations. All around great experience.

They got the job done, giving me good advice and all of the forms I needed to execute a quitclaim deed without any tax penalty. Their advice was better than that of a title company or my mortgage broker—all for about $180. Great value.

We just completed and received documentation involving estates, properties and other issues. Process was lengthy and rather complex. To their credit Cory and Ian were very helpful and extremely professional. Some alterations in the final product were dealt with today in a cordial and understanding way. We can, without a doubt, certainly recommend California Document Preparers!
Craig M.
My visits to sign papers were no more than 15 minutes and they were always prepared for me no matter if I had an appointment or just popped in. They explain everything in detail and in terms so you can understand what you are expected to do now and in the future. No guess work.
