Free Estate Planning Phone Consultation in Carlsbad, CA

We value your time. Here’s exactly what will happen during your free estate planning consultation

Free 15-minute call to understand your situation and quote the fee. It is a needs evaluation, not legal advice, and does not include document review.

What happens on your free phone consultation

1. What brought you here

We ask what prompted you to look into this. Most people come to us about protecting children or a spouse, avoiding probate, planning for incapacity, or updating a trust that is out of date.

2. The basics of your situation

Marital status, children and dependents, and a rough sense of what you own. No exact figures, and nothing to prepare in advance.

3. Which of our services fits

We tell you which Opelon service matches what you have described, and whether this is work we take on at all.

4. What it costs and how long it takes

Our estate planning flat fees, quoted on the call. For probate, how the statutory fee is calculated, so there is no surprise later. Then the timeline and the next step.

5. Your questions about how we work

How we run the process, who you deal with, and what happens after you sign.

What this call does not cover. It is a needs evaluation, so we do not give legal advice on your specific facts and we do not review your documents on it. Those are the first things an attorney does once you are a client, and they need more than fifteen minutes to do properly.

How to Prepare for Your Free Estate Planning Consultation

There is nothing you need to prepare. If you want the call to move faster, it helps to have a rough sense of the following:

1. Think About Your Wishes

  • Who would you want to manage your affairs if you became incapacitated?
  • Who should inherit your assets, and under what conditions?
  • Who would you trust to make healthcare decisions for you?

2. A Rough Sense of Your Assets

Prepare a list of your major assets such as:

  • Home and other real estate
  • Bank accounts and investments
  • Business ownership
  • Life insurance policies
  • Retirement accounts (401(k), IRA, etc.)

3. List Your Family Members

Know the names and relationships of key individuals you want to include in your estate plan (e.g., spouse, children, potential guardians or trustees).

4. Questions or Concerns

Write down any questions you have.
