 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 Marin County families ask us most often.

What happens if I die without a Living Trust in Marin County?

The transfer process depends on ownership, beneficiary arrangements, the documents and the available procedures. A will does not itself avoid probate, and the absence of a living trust does not mean every asset requires the same court process. Review the actual property and records before choosing the next steps.

Can I change or update my Revocable Trust later?

Review the trust terms and your circumstances before making changes. Ask which amendments, ownership updates or related document changes are appropriate; an existing trust should be checked alongside the rest of the plan.

Why hire an attorney instead of online software?

Discuss how the documents work with the ownership records, beneficiary arrangements and people involved. Prepare your current trust, will, deeds and account information so the review can address your actual plan.

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

A house alone does not determine which plan or transfer procedure fits. Review title, other ownership interests, beneficiary arrangements and your goals before deciding whether a living trust is appropriate.
