Not always. But often, yes. As of April 1, 2025, California estates with qualifying assets over $208,850 (not counting the primary residence) generally go through probate.

We handle uncontested probate matters statewide and can tell you in one free call whether you need it.

A will says who gets what after you pass. But it usually still goes through probate. A living trust can pass your assets to your loved ones without probate, which often saves months (sometimes years) and real money. Most of our clients use both, working together.

We use flat fees for most estate planning matters, so you know the price before we start. Complex situations get an individual quote at your free consultation. No surprises.
