Frequently asked questions
How much does a will or living trust cost in Redondo Beach?
Many Redondo Beach estate attorneys charge flat fees, roughly $300 to $1,200 for a simple will package and $1,500 to $4,000 for a revocable living trust. Probate work is often billed hourly. Ask for a written fee agreement up front.
Do I need a will or a living trust?

How much does probate cost and how long does it take?
