What you should know about probate…

If you ever have to go into probate it is hard enough carrying out the duties of your loved ones, but also having to worry about court and attorney fees can become overwhelming. Attorneys fees, which are set by statute, can gobble up a huge portion of an estate, because they are based on the gross value of the estate (and they don’t account for mortgages or other debt, which you have to pay off). California Document Preparers is an easier, faster, and cheaper way to get through probate. Our flat fee is discussed and settled at the beginning of the proceeding, so that you always know what you are getting.  We charge 1% of the gross value of the estate, but we never charge more than $3,500 no matter how large the estate is.
