California Will vs Living Trust — Which Do You Need?

⚠️ Important: Most California Homeowners Need a Living Trust, Not Just a Will

If you own a home in California (or have assets over $184,500), a will alone is not enough. Here's why:

A will goes through probate (12-18 months, costs $27,000+ for typical California home). A living trust avoids probate entirely (assets transfer in weeks, no court involvement, no fees). For California homeowners, a living trust saves your family tens of thousands of dollars.

Feature Living Trust
($150)
Will Only
($150)
Avoids Probate YES ✗ NO
Probate Cost (for $500K home) $0 $27,000+
Transfer Time 2-4 weeks 12-18 months
Privacy Private Public record
Court Involvement None Required
Incapacity Protection Built-in Needs separate POA
Best For Homeowners, high-value estates Minimal assets, no real estate
Price (Same!) $150 $150

💡 Our Recommendation

If you own a home in California: Get a living trust. Same price ($150), but saves your family $27,000-$68,000 in probate costs.

If you don't own a home and have minimal assets: A will is sufficient.
