	Estate and gift tax planning Living trusts Wills Irrevocable trusts Generation skipping trusts Insurance trusts Guardianship of minors Conservatorships for disabled persons Probate administrators Trust administration and litigation Family limited partnerships Limited liability corporations Charitable trusts Qualified personal residence trusts Probate litigation Trust litigation Fees for estate planning are usually firm figures agreed to in advance so our clients know exactly what they will be paying.  For fee estimates without any obligation, contact Chris Moore, Becky Schroff or Cathy Evans at 310-540-8855. For probate administration, our fees are set by the court and payable from the estate before it closes. For trust administration, estate tax returns and trust and estate litigation, our fees are normally based on our hourly rates. We never charge anyone who wants to come in to meet the staff and say hello.  For initial consultations where we collect information, determine the client's objectives and give advice, we charge our hourly rates unless we are engaged to prepare the estate planning documents.  When we prepare the estate planning documents, the initial consultation is included in the quoted fees and there is no separate charge for the consultation.
