Legal Documents
How it works
With the Thompson Legal Firm, you have the peace of mind knowing that your personally identifiable information is not in the hands of a software program such as LegalZip* (which is used by LegalZoom.com), but that real licensed California Attorneys will take your submission, draft and review your important legal documents, then send them to you in both a digital format via email within 1 business day for your immediate review, as well as send archival-quality and bound originals of your legal documents via postal mail within five business days.

Living Trust

Using a Revocable Living Trust is the most common estate planning device to avoid the time and expense of Probate and safeguard one's estate for their beneficiaries.

A typical Living Trust prepared at an Attorney's office would cost on average between $1,600-$2,500 or even more. With Thompson Legal Firm you receive the same benefit of a visit to an Attorney's office and their experience in drafting, but for only $995. Our service provides you with the ease of preparing your own document safely and securely online while having access to real licensed California Attorneys as needed.

You receive all Revocable Living Trust documents (for your signature and notarization), Letters for non-real estate property transfers, and a 'Pour-over Will' to enable any after-aquired property to pour over into the Trust and be distributed according to the terms of the trust after the Trust document is signed.

There is an additional cost of $210 to prepare all documents to transfer real property (i.e., a house) into your trust as we prepare your new deed transfering title to you as trustee of your trust. We will need faxed (951) 925-3239 (951) 925-3239 or emailed to us a copy of the most recently recorded grant deed as this deed will have how you are on title, the APN (Assessor's Parcel Number) and the legal lot description (metes and bounds description).

If you need to update your Revocable Living Trust at a later date, we have made it easy to do so. Simply click 'Start' below which will take you to the next page where you can safely and securely enter your name, your email address and then answer just the last question that asks for modifications and tell us what they are. Changes are free for 30 days. There is a small processing fee of $55 for this service after the 30 day guarantee period is over that is honored for the rest of your life. We are grateful to serve you and your family and look forward to assisting you as you wisely prepare for the future.
