Dana Point, California residents don’t need a Dana Point living trust attorney to set up a trust. Laguna Legal has been helping Dana Point and other California residents with legal documents like living trusts, child custody, incorporation, credit repair, immigration, and with mediation for the past 23 years!
Located in Orange County, Dana Point is a California city with a population of just over 33,000 people (as of 2020). The area is named for author and surfer Richard Henry Dana, Jr. Dana Point is known for it’s harbor, surfing, and beautiful high bluffs.
Laguna Legal charges $950 to prepare a complete estate plan. A complete estate plan includes the following documents: 1) Revocable Living Trust; 2) Certification of Trust; 3) Pour-Over Will; 4) Durable Springing Power of Attorney; and 5) Healthcare Directive.
The actual living trust does not get registered. However, all of the person’s real estate may have been retitled in the name of the trust which means you may be able to locate the name and date of the trust by search through property records.
People set up trusts to avoid probate and to document their wishes for how their assets should be distributed after their death.
A trust is better than a will because a living trust helps your loved ones avoid probate. A will documents your wishes but requires probate prior to the distribution of assets to your loved ones.
The actual living trust is not a public record. However, all of the person’s real estate may have been retitled in the name of the trust which means you may be able to locate the name and date of the trust by search through property public records.
