Concord Estate Planning Attorney
Flat fee estate plans for Concord and east Contra Costa County.
Our Office Near Concord
Remote video appointments available statewide. In-person signing required for final documents.
Our Concord office on Willow Pass Road serves families across east Contra Costa County. Concord homeowners are frequently surprised by what California probate costs — the fees are set by statute on the gross value of the home, not the equity, so a mortgaged house generates the same bill as a paid-off one. A trust avoids that entirely.

What Probate Actually Costs in Contra Costa County
California probate fees are set by statute — and they're based on the gross value of your estate, not your equity. That means a $1.2M home with a $700K mortgage generates over $28,000 in mandatory attorney and executor fees. Add court costs, and the total often exceeds $35,000. The process takes 12–18 months.
A Summerall Law trust package costs a fraction of that — and eliminates probate entirely for most families.
