Optional Add-On Services to Ready-Made Plans

  • Secondary California Property Transfer into Trust $300/deed

    Transferring your primary home to the trust, and Recording fees at the County Recorder, are now INCLUDED in the base pricing! This add-on is for secondary/vacation/rental homes you need to transfer in addition to your primary home. Attorney drafted Trust Transfer Deeds to transfer your California real property into your newly formed Trust. We'll research your existing title, prepare a trust transfer deed, and record the deed at the County Recorder on your behalf (County Recording fees included in cost).

  • Personalized Attorney Guidance $150/30min

    You'll receive in-depth written and video guides for every step of creating your plan, understanding your plan, signing your plan, and managing your plan. You'll also have access to our support staff for any technical questions along the way. If you need time with the Attorneys for more in depth or personalized guidance on your plan, you can schedule a Zoom meeting with them at your convenience in 30 minute intervals.

  • Future Updates to Trust or Will $150/$250

    We don't believe you need to pay for a "membership" to keep your plan up to date. In truth, most families will only update their plan 1-2 times (if at all). Why pay a membership fee all that time if you're not using it? We believe you should only pay to update your plan if and when you decide to change something. For our Ready-Made Plans completed in 2024 and beyond, you'll only pay $150 to update your Will based plan or $250 to update your Trust based plan. Of course, you own your plan and you can freely update it anytime using a provider of your choice as well, but we'll be here to assist with any updates should they arise in the future. Just email our Support Staff and they'll get you in the right workflow for updates.

Frequently Ask Questions

You’ve got the questions, we’ve got the answers! Don’t see an answer to your question here? Reach out to us anytime at Support@JJLawCA.com

We’ve made things as simple as possible! Many clients will complete the questionnaire in 20 minutes or less, but you’re not required to complete things in one go. At the bottom of the questionnaire there will be a link for you to send your questionnaire to your email to pick it up later. Come back anytime and pick up where you left off.

We take several steps to make sure your information is secure, the first of which is to not have you include sensitive information (you will not be asked for your social security number or financial account numbers, as an example). This information can easily be handled outside of the software directly on your physical documents, so there is no reason to risk including it within any software.

All of the data you transmit is encrypted in transit and at-rest using industry best practices, including Transport Layer Security (TLS). Your data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 encryption in AWS data centers stored in the USA only. AWS data centers are managed in accordance with SOC 1-3, PCI DSS Level 1 and ISO 9001/ISO 270001.  Our payment processing vendors are also PCI compliant.

Payment isn’t made until the very end of your questionnaire, so you can check everything out without needing to pay anything up front.

Of course! Transferring your primary home to your trust is included in any Trust Based Plan, and we can also transfer additional properties for $300 per deed (this includes County Recording fees). We 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. 

Once you complete the questionnaire, you'll have drafts for review in your inbox within minutes! You'll also have an in-depth review video that will accompany those drafts so that you understand exactly what they say. 

Once approved, Ready-Made Plans will be printed, flagged for signature, and shipped to you in a customized portfolio within 1-2 business days (plus mail transit time). 

Attorney Guidance meetings can be scheduled anytime you'd like with the provided link that will accompany your drafts, or just send us an email at support@jjlawca.com and we're happy to coordinate it for you.

We’ve recorded guidance videos covering almost every screen you’ll see in the questionnaire, and those videos are embedded within the screen they discuss, so just hit play and let us walk you through it. If you still have questions there will be a link at the bottom of the page where you can ask any questions and we’d be happy to assist.

One of the best parts of our Ready-Made Plans is you can upgrade your level of service anytime and will only pay the difference - so your original investment is never lost! If you start start a Ready-Made plan and end up needing more attorney support than you originally thought, just send an email to support@jjlawca.com and ask for assistance. You can upgrade all the way up to a full service traditional plan, so if you need more detail and contingencies in your plan that require custom drafting, you can always enlist the help of the Attorneys at Jenkins & Jenkins in a traditional fashion, without losing any of your money spent on a software based plan.

No! Unlike many DIY solutions on the market, our Ready-Made plans are not one size fits all, fill in the blank, templates. We’ve built a state of the art document automation solution that uses conditional logic to custom formulate your plan based on your entries. More than just a search and replace type feature, this allows for dynamic conditions to be added, removed, or adjusted within your plan to best suit how you answer along the way. And these aren’t just built by “an attorney” without a name – this was tediously created and is still maintained by Michael and Caroline Jenkins of Jenkins & Jenkins, Estate Planning Attorneys. They’re also the attorneys you’ll get help from if you choose an attorney review option, which makes this solution one of the most unique offerings in the marketplace!

Life happens, and your planning should be flexible to accommodate changes that do come up. With our Ready-Made plans, changes could not be easier. Simply email support@jjlawca.com and request a link to make your updates online. We don't believe in charging you a "membership fee", so we don't have an annual cost for you to pay even when you're not receiving services. Instead, it costs $150 to update Will based plans or $250 to update Trust based plans in the future - only pay when you're actually changing something.
