Do You Have Attorneys Who Can Assist Me?

One of the most unique things about Estate Lock is we’re founded by practicing Estate Planning Attorneys! While Estate Lock is not a Law Firm and does not provide legal advice, we do have a partnership with Jenkins & Jenkins, Estate Planning Attorneys to provide limited scope and full representation to all Estate Lock users.

What About Assistance With Transferring My House Into My Trust?

We offer deed preparation and recording services that may be added to any level of service above. Your contracted attorney will search property records to find your most recent deed, prepare a trust transfer deed, and record the deed with the County Recorder on your behalf. Transfers between family members prior to transfer into a trust may be added as well. Title search, deed preparation, and County Recording Fees are included in the cost. This service is contracted through Jenkins & Jenkins, Estate Planning Attorneys to ensure a licensed individual is researching and preparing your Deed.

A missing or incorrect Trust Transfer Deed is perhaps the primary reason most DIY Estate Plans fail or cause family to go to Probate Court despite a good faith effort. Estate Lock highly recommends utilizing our Deed Services to fund your Trust based plans to avoid this nightmare for your family!
