California's statutory probate fees hit hard. For a median San Diego home, families lose tens of thousands to a process that could've been avoided with a $500-$1,500 trust. HomeTrust exists to close that gap.

Called at a moment's notice to aid with the estate of my mother-in-law. His video of my mother-in-law expressing her wishes is something my wife and her grandchildren will always cherish. Timely, professional, giving much more than fair value for services rendered.
I met James in 1996 when I was diagnosed with a terminal cancer. He went the extra mile for me, coming out on a holiday to get it done. My financial planner has seen his work numerous times — "You don't have to worry about James' documents, always thorough and reliable."
He is very knowledgeable, open, honest and professional. Always available and approachable — there are no dumb questions with him. His word is his bond. He has some 10,000 clients and we are number 10,001 and very satisfied.
Marco and his team did a fantastic job of preparing and explaining the entire process! When you are signing a bunch of important documents and you are not a lawyer, it is awesome when each is explained in a way that is easy to understand. That gave us confidence in what we were doing!
HomeTrust made the process of establishing a living trust quick and easy for my family. They are incredibly organized and walk you through the entire process with patience and professionalism. I am so grateful to have found them.
Just had Jim and Marco prepare my living trust. Such an awesome experience. Great communication, very knowledgeable, efficient, affordable and friendly. Great people. Will refer to family and friends!
