Folsom sits next door to El Dorado Hills, so many Folsom clients meet attorney Andrei Jingan at our El Dorado Hills office. Others handle everything by Zoom and sign with a mobile notary.
Where we meet: our El Dorado Hills office (by appointment), or by Zoom or phone. We do not have an office in this city. Signing can be arranged in person or with a mobile notary.
If a Sacramento County resident dies with assets outside a trust above California’s small-estate limit (currently $208,850 for most deaths on or after April 1, 2025), the family usually has to go through probate in the Sacramento County Superior Court. Probate is public, commonly takes a year or more, and California sets statutory attorney and executor fees by the size of the gross estate. For a $1,000,000 estate, those statutory fees total $46,000 before costs. A properly funded revocable living trust generally avoids that process.
Flat fees, confirmed in writing before any work begins: trust-based estate plan $3,500 for an individual or $4,500 for a couple; will-based plan $2,500 for an individual. Includes one California property deed. Additional properties and specialized trusts are quoted separately, in writing, before any work begins. See Legal Fees.
