You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Estate planning that puts your family first

Veronica Castro has helped California parents and families create clear, compassionate living trust plans—so your children are protected and your legacy is secure.

Avoid painful probate delays

A properly drafted living trust helps your family bypass the public, time-consuming probate process—so your loved ones can access what they need, when they need it.

Name who cares for your kids

Make it crystal clear who should raise your children if something happens to you, instead of leaving that life-defining decision up to the courts.

Keep family matters private

A living trust keeps your family’s finances and wishes out of the public record and minimizes the chance of future conflict and confusion.

Questions Parents Ask Most

Living trust & estate planning FAQs

What’s the difference between a will and a living trust?

Both documents state who should receive your assets, but a will usually must go through probate court, which can be public, slow, and expensive. A properly funded living trust can often allow your family to avoid probate altogether, keeping things private and more efficient. During your consultation, we’ll explain which tools make the most sense for your situation.

Do I have to decide anything before the consultation?

No. The free consultation is educational and exploratory. We’ll talk about your family, your assets, and your concerns, and then outline options. You don’t need documents or perfect answers prepared—we’ll guide you through the questions step by step.

How much does a living trust plan cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity of your situation—whether you own multiple properties, a business, have a blended family, or need special needs planning, for example. During the consultation, we’ll give you a clear, flat-fee quote before you make any decisions.

Can we meet virtually if we have young kids at home?

Yes. Many of our clients are busy parents. We offer phone and Zoom consultations, and we can schedule around naps, school, and work whenever possible.

Is there any obligation if I book a free consultation?

No. The consultation is an opportunity for you to get clarity and for us to see if we’re the right fit to help. If you decide not to move forward, you’ll still leave with a better understanding of your options.
