Theres no set hourly rate or cost for a living trust. However, an average California attorney may charge about $2,000 for the job. In exchange, your lawyer will first take some time to hear your situation and explain your options when it comes to living trusts.
Creating a Handwritten Living Trust in California You do not need witnesses, and the paper does not have to be docHubd. Many people want to avoid challenges to their living trust, so they take steps that are above the bare minimum requirements, like having their signature docHubd.
Signing the document is required for the trust to be valid. While youre not legally required in California to have the trust docHubd, doing so ensures the documents authenticity and validity.
How to create a living trust in California Take stock of your assets. Choose a trustee. Choose your beneficiaries. Draw up your Declaration of Trust. Consider signing your trust document in front of a notary public. Transfer your property to the trust.
After you die, only your beneficiaries and those who would legally inherit from you if you did not have a will or trust have a right to know what the trust contains. You do not have any legal requirement to file your trust with the County or the Court.

Draw Up the Trust Document There is no single form that you have to use in California to do this, but there are some options. If youre confident in your abilities, you can download a program online to help you write a document. Otherwise, youll want to get the help of either a lawyer or a financial advisor.
Usually that entails amending the trust through a separate written document signed by the settlor and delivered to the trustee (who are usually the same person). This document must be created and executed like the original trust, generally before a notary. It should clearly state the desired changes.
