Local Counsel Who Knows Larkspur

Built on California State Law

A downloaded template cannot account for California’s specific trust rules, and small errors often surface only after a death, when it’s too late to fix them. Families searching for a trust attorney in Larkspur, CA need someone who understands the law and the local court that will review these documents.

Codi M. Dada built his practice around one goal: helping Larkspur families protect what they own, whether that’s a cottage near Magnolia Avenue or a hillside home above Baltimore Canyon. He handles trusts and wills exclusively, so every hour he spends studying the law goes toward your family’s plan.

Our Practice Areas

Larkspur residents turn to our office for trusted guidance on trusts, with legal services focused on their unique needs and goals.

BusinessRate Names Us a Top 3 Firm

BusinessRate combed through verified Google reviews from real clients before naming the Law Office of Codi M. Dada among the top three estate planning firms serving Northern California this year, an honor earned one satisfied family at a time.

That recognition comes from something simple: Codi answers questions in plain language, quotes one flat fee upfront, and follows through on every promise. Larkspur clients often say working with him felt less like hiring a lawyer and more like asking a neighbor for advice.

Why Choose Codi M. Dada?

Most law firms split their time across divorces, contracts, and criminal cases. We do only one thing: trusts and wills for Larkspur families, which means sharper advice and fewer surprises down the road.

Which Trust Structure Fits Your Family?

Not every estate needs the same tool. We match the trust structure to your specific goals, assets, and family situation.

When a Trust Isn't Actually Funded

Signing your trust documents is only half the job. If your home, bank accounts, or investments are still in your name instead of your trust’s, those assets may still be subject to probate in Marin County Superior Court.

To help avoid that outcome, we prepare the deed transfers and bank letters your accounts require, then review each step to help ensure your assets are properly connected to your trust before we close your file.

How Our Trust Process Works

Setting up a trust does not have to be complicated. We keep the process simple, explain each step, and make sure you know what comes next.

Comprehensive Individual Trust Plan

$2,450

One flat price, agreed upfront, with no hidden fees later.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm extremely happy with the trust documents Lukas prepared for me. He was very professional,  friendly and patiently explained the documents in detail for me. He answered all of my questions to my toral satisfaction. The entire process was accomplished very quickly and throughly.  The cost of the package was, in my opinion, very fair. It was actually a real pleasure meeting and working with Lukas and Daniel to do the final signing to finish off the package.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met with Lucas today and finalized my Living Trust and Health directive. I was glad to go thru the many pages and clarify all of the documents with Lucas. It made it easier to understand it. Lucas was really patient and also met with the notary which was Daniel Dada. He arrived on time and we got everything signed. I would definitely recommend Codi and Lucas to anyone in the future. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am currently working with Codi M. Dada to handle my late father’s estate. Probate is a long and confusing process, but Codi has been very helpful in getting the paperwork started so I can be named as the administrator of the estate. He is professional, explains the statutory fees under the California Probate Code clearly , and has made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I highly recommend him if you are just starting this process!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t recommend a better attorney for the probate process. Codi genuinely has the heart of a teacher and makes sure you understand every step from start to finish.

He takes the time to walk through everything in plain, easy-to-understand terms, never rushes you, and answers questions thoroughly. His pricing is very reasonable, and the clarity and support he provides throughout the process made a stressful situation feel manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions Larkspur families ask us most often.

What happens if I die without a Living Trust in Larkspur?

Without a trust, California requires formal probate for most estates worth more than $239,700, and Marin County's court calendar can stretch that process past a year. Executors juggle filings and hearings the entire time, while heirs wait for funds they may need immediately.

Can I change or update my Revocable Trust later?

You remain fully in charge of your trust for as long as you're alive, adding assets, removing beneficiaries, or rewriting terms whenever your life changes. We also include one amendment at no charge during your first three months.

Why hire an attorney instead of online software?

Software can generate a document, but it can't drive to the bank with you or confirm your deed was actually changed. A trust attorney in Larkspur catches the funding mistakes generic platforms miss, and makes sure your plan holds up under California law.

Do I need a living trust if I only own one house?

Yes, almost always. A single Larkspur property, especially near downtown or Larkspur Landing, often clears the threshold for simplified transfer on its own. Without a trust, that one house alone can force your family into full probate court.
