We guide successor trustees through every step — from beneficiary notification to asset distribution — limiting personal liability and ensuring legal compliance. ### Probate Avoidance Probate in California is costly, time-consuming, and public. We help families avoid probate through properly funded revocable living trusts. California probate fees are set by statute (Probate Code §10810) based on gross estate value. For example, a $1,000,000 estate incurs $46,000 in total statutory fees. ## Service Area - San Francisco Bay Area - Marin County, California - Silicon Valley - Southern California ## Contact - Website: https://www.tullerlaw.com - Schedule a Consultation: https://tuller-law.cliogrow.com/book ## Links - [Home](https://www.tullerlaw.com/) - [About](https://www.tullerlaw.com/about) - [Services](https://www.tullerlaw.com/services) - [Estate Planning](https://www.tullerlaw.com/estate-planning) - [Trust Settlement](https://www.tullerlaw.com/trust-settlement) - [Probate](https://www.tullerlaw.com/probate) - [FAQ](https://www.tullerlaw.com/faq) - [Testimonials](https://www.tullerlaw.com/testimonials) - [Blog](https://www.tullerlaw.com/blog) - [Full site content for LLMs](https://www.tullerlaw.com/llms-full.txt)
