Another celebrity dies without a living trust. I have to wonder who is advising these people to not do trusts and probate their wills in court. A public proceeding, a one year minimum court process, and huge probate fees.

In this case, if probated in California, the $9 million estate would result in statutory probate and executor fees of approx. $206,000.00. She could have done a living trust for less than $5K and saved her estate over $200K and a ton of hassle.

Call us today to prepare your family's living trust.
