If you own a home in California, a Will usually means your family will face probate, which often takes 12 to 18 months or longer, and statutory attorney and executor fees under CA Probate Code Sections 10800 and 10810. For deaths on or after April 1, 2025, a primary residence worth up to $750,000 can instead pass by a Probate Code 13151 court petition, which is simpler than full probate but still a court filing. Full probate fees:
A Living Trust transfers your property privately and avoids probate for the assets it holds. Our Attorney-prepared and reviewed trust packages start at just $400.
No, California law allows you to create your own will. However, attorney review helps avoid mistakes that can make a will invalid or open to challenge. Our $150 service includes review by licensed California attorney Rozsa Gyene (State Bar #208356) - LegalZoom's Pro Will, with the same documents, is $149 individual / $249 couple with 30 days of attorney consultations on new legal topics, then $25/month (LegalZoom's compare page, as of September 2026).
Yes. Online wills are legally valid in California as long as they are printed, signed by the testator (you), and signed by two witnesses who are present at the same time and understand it is your will (Probate Code §6110). Any person generally competent to be a witness may act as one (§6112), and no notary is needed. Our attorney-prepared and reviewed documents are prepared to meet California Probate Code requirements and are valid in all 58 California counties.
Most people finish our online questionnaire in 20 to 30 minutes. You receive your completed documents within 24 hours via secure email, ready to print and sign with witnesses.
If you own real estate in California, you should strongly consider a Living Trust instead of just a will. A will usually means a probate court process (for deaths on or after April 1, 2025, a primary residence worth up to $750,000 can pass by a simpler Probate Code 13151 petition, but that is still a court filing); a funded trust avoids it for the assets it holds. We offer Attorney-prepared and reviewed trusts for $400.
A will goes through probate court (often 12 to 18 months or longer, plus statutory attorney and executor fees). A trust transfers assets privately without court involvement. If you own California real estate, a trust saves your family tens of thousands in probate fees. See our complete FAQ for more details.
A last will and testament is an important document, but it has one major limitation: it must go through probate. In California, probate often takes 12 to 18 months or longer. For a $500,000 estate, the statutory attorney and executor fees are $26,000, plus court costs, appraisal and publication fees.
A California living trust, once funded, avoids probate for the assets it holds. Your successor trustee can distribute assets without going to probate court: no probate hearings and no statutory probate fees. For $400 (single) or $500 (joint), you can protect your family from probate.
Create your California will: most people finish the questionnaire in 20 to 30 minutes. Attorney-prepared and reviewed.
