Probate Calculator Form

In California, the probate code sets a statutory fee for attorneys and executors for the administration of an estate. Many families are shocked to learn just how much the probate process will cost them, often leaving them with a much smaller inheritance than they’d expected. Use our calculator below to estimate Probate fees for estates over $184,500, but less than $10,000,000. Probate fees are set by California Probate Code Section 10810.

Who Should Attend This Webinar?

If you don’t currently have a plan in place to protect your family and assets… or if it’s been at least three years since you’ve last looked at your old estate plan.

On this webinar you’ll learn:

  • The advantages and disadvantages of both wills and trusts.
  • All about probate and what steps can you take now to help your family avoid this expensive and time-consuming legal process.
  •  Easy strategies to protect your children’s inheritance from being seized if they get divorced, sued or file bankruptcy in the future.
  • How to preserve your estate for your children should you pass away and your surviving spouse gets remarried (without a plan, your family’s inheritance will legally go to the new husband or wife!).
  • How to qualify and use Medi-Cal to pay for nursing home expenses which can average over $11,000 monthly in the Greater Bay Area.
  • How to keep your affairs private and your loved ones out of court if you become disabled and can’t speak for yourself. (Hint: Not all Powers of Attorney are valid!)
  • How parents (and grandparents!) of children with special needs can plan for a lifetime of care without jeopardizing eligibility for important benefits like Medi-Cal or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
  • How the new SECURE Act has impacted inherited IRAs and the best strategies to minimize taxes to your heirs.
  • If you will you owe estate taxes and how to help your heirs minimize or even avoid “death” taxes after your passing.
