California State Bar #208356
25+ Years Experience
Meet Your Attorney
I'm Rozsa Gyene, a licensed California attorney with over 25 years of experience in estate planning, living trusts, wills, and probate avoidance. My State Bar license number is #208356 (click to verify with the State Bar of California).
Throughout my career, I've helped California families protect their assets, avoid probate, and ensure their loved ones are taken care of. I've seen firsthand the devastation that poor planning, or no planning, can cause families during an already difficult time.
I created Living Trust California because I believe every California family deserves access to quality estate planning, not just the wealthy. Traditional attorneys often charge several thousand dollars for living trusts. LegalZoom no longer sells attorney review as a one-time add-on: attorney access only comes bundled into their Premium subscription plans, which renew yearly.
Living Trust California is different. You get California-specific documents prepared and reviewed by me, a licensed California attorney, for $400-$500. No call centers. No out-of-state legal teams. Call (818) 337-4071 to speak with the attorney's office.
"Estate planning shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. Every California family deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing their loved ones are protected."
— Rozsa Gyene, Esq.

Why Living Trust California?
Our Mission
Make professional estate planning accessible and affordable for all Californians. Too many families can't afford attorney fees of often several thousand dollars, so they skip estate planning entirely, leaving their families vulnerable to statutory probate attorney and executor fees ($26,000 on a $500,000 estate). We're changing that.
California-Specific Documents
Our documents are specifically designed for California law. I personally review every trust, which is prepared to meet California Probate Code requirements and includes California-specific provisions for community property, real estate transfers, and probate avoidance.
Attorney Review Included
Every single document is reviewed by me before delivery. LegalZoom no longer sells attorney review as a one-time add-on: attorney access only comes bundled into their Premium subscription, which renews yearly, and the attorneys are independent. With Living Trust California, attorney review is included in the base price. No hidden fees. Optional add-ons are listed up front.
Lower Cost
By combining technology with personal attorney review, we keep the cost well below a traditional attorney's fee. Traditional attorney: often several thousand dollars. LegalZoom: $549 individual / $649 couple for the Premium plan with attorney consultations, or $399 / $499 for the Basic trust with no attorney (as of September 2026). Living Trust California: $400-$500 complete with attorney review included.
Speak With the Attorney's Office
When you call (818) 337-4071, you reach my office, not a call center in another state. When you email, I respond personally. You're working with a real California attorney who understands California law and cares about your family's protection.
My Philosophy on Estate Planning
Attorney-Reviewed Online Trusts Are the Future
For decades, estate planning has been inaccessible to most Americans due to high costs. Technology changed that, but most online services went too far in the opposite direction, offering template documents with no legal oversight.
The sweet spot is what we offer: technology-powered efficiency combined with attorney review. You get the convenience and affordability of online services with the quality assurance of working with a licensed California attorney.
Quality Doesn't Require Premium Pricing
Traditional attorneys charge high fees because they're billing for time: every email, phone call, and draft revision adds to your bill. That model made sense before technology, but it's outdated.
By using technology to handle routine tasks (questionnaires, document generation, formatting), I can focus my legal work where it matters most: reviewing your specific situation and your documents. This lets me offer attorney-quality work at online prices.
Everyone Deserves Peace of Mind
Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. If you own a home, have children, or care about who inherits your assets, you need a plan. I created Living Trust California so that cost is never the reason a California family goes unprotected.
