Probate Administration
A loved one passed without a trust. We can help navigate probate.
When someone passes without a living trust, the estate goes through California probate court — a public process lasting 9–18 months. The $500 deposit covers initial court filing fees. LAESQUIRE handles everything: paperwork, creditor notices, inventory, accounting, and distribution.

Common Questions
Estate Planning FAQ
Serving Chatsworth, Northridge, Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Simi Valley, Canoga Park, Reseda, Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Calabasas, and all of the San Fernando Valley.
How does the online intake process work?
Select your plan, fill out the secure intake worksheet online (15–30 minutes), and pay your 50% deposit. Shekhar reviews your worksheet, contacts you with any questions, drafts your customized documents, and schedules a signing appointment in Chatsworth or virtually. The intake form captures everything: personal details, assets, beneficiaries, trustees, and your specific wishes.
Do I need to come in to start?
No. The entire intake process is handled online. You fill out the worksheet, pay your deposit, and Shekhar begins drafting. The only in-person requirement is the signing appointment — which can often be done virtually for most document types.
Why do you require a 50% deposit?
The deposit secures your spot and covers the time invested in reviewing your intake worksheet and beginning the drafting process. The balance is due at signing. Accepted: all major credit cards, debit cards, Zelle, and check.
What information do I need for the intake form?
Full legal names and dates of birth for family members; home address and contact info; a list of major assets (real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, life insurance, business interests); names of people you want as trustees, executors, powers of attorney, and healthcare agents; and your distribution wishes. Exact dollar amounts are not required — approximations are fine. Use the Estate Planner tool to organize this before starting.
Can I add children to the trust package?
Yes. Guardianship documents for minor children are available for an additional $250 per child, added to any trust or will package. These include both temporary and permanent guardian appointments, medical power of attorney for the child, HIPAA authorization, and guardian instructions.
