How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Living Trust in California

In 2022, a personal client in California posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a living trust. The client, who is in their mid to late 40s and has a young son, aimed to establish a living trust to ensure their family's financial security and care in the event of an unforeseen situation. With a home and a straightforward family structure, they recognized the necessity of having an estate plan in place, as they wanted to address this important matter without further delay. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $1,500 to $3,000, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
