Last Will and Testament

The average cost of an attorney-drafted Last Will and Testament that provides the assuredness of legal compliance with the ever-changing legal and tax system of California is around $375-$600. Costs at other law firms can go much higher if there are potential issues of dispute, family oriented needs such as the continuing care of minor children via trusts set up in the will, large estates, or other complexities.

We also enable you to modify your Will as circumstances change as often as you desire for free for 30 days. At Thompson Legal Firm we desire to serve and keep you as a long-term, satisfied client. This is simply our way of serving individuals and families in wise estate planning and assisting you adequately prepare to provide for your family's future.

Every person should have a Will as it allows property to be distributed according to the willmaker's desires, and not that of the state. In general, if your entire estate is under $100,000, a Will usually best serves your interests because under the California Probate Code an estate that is under $100,000 actually does not go through a full probate. There is a short process with the court that is relatively simple for handling smaller estates. Also, if you have minor children, it is imperative that you have a Will in order to establish custody and financial management for your children. To read more, click here. [go to pop up]
