How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Prepare & File a Revocable Living Trust in California

In 2026, a personal client in California posted a project seeking assistance with the preparation and filing of a revocable living trust. The client, who is married with one child and owns two properties, aimed to establish a trust that would hold both properties while also requiring a review of their existing postnuptial agreement to ensure compatibility with the trust. Additionally, they sought guidance on funding the trust and requested detailed information about the estate planning services included in the proposals. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $2,500, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
