Sorting out a living trust or a parent's will is the kind of thing most people put off for years, then want handled cleanly in a few weeks. The estate planning lawyers in Los Angeles on this page have logged 1,916 Google reviews between them, and every one of them sits between 4.8 and 5 stars, so the real question isn't who's good, it's who fits your situation. The Singh Law Firm tops the list with a perfect 5.0 across 718 of those reviews.

Short answer: The Singh Law Firm is the clear pick, holding a perfect 5.0 rating across 718 reviews for its Beverly Hills estate planning work on living trusts and wills. Keystone Law Group (4.8, 366 reviews) is the one to call when a trust or estate is in dispute, while Probate Superheroes at The Werner Law Firm also posts a perfect 5.0 on a smaller base. Most local firms handle wills and trusts on a flat fee, so ask for the full package price up front.

The Singh Law Firm

5.0718 Google reviews

The Singh Law Firm works from a Beverly Hills office on Wilshire and focuses on estate planning: living trusts, wills, and updates to documents drafted years earlier. Clients describe a guided process handled by named attorneys like Suzette Arellano and Isha, who explain each step in plain language and repeat the important parts until it sticks. Reviewers keep coming back to the personal side of the work, from finalizing an elderly parent's will to refreshing a trust first written at another firm.

What people praise

  • Attorneys explain the process clearly and patiently, without legalese
  • Named team members like Suzette and Isha get singled out by clients
  • Handles both fresh estate plans and updates to older trust documents
  • Welcoming, well-organized office and a smooth signing day
  • Clients repeatedly mention peace of mind once documents are done

Worth knowing

  • Weekday hours only, roughly 8:30 to 5, so plan appointments around that

Our take: The safe default. It's number one on both the highest review count in the city and a near-flawless 5.0, so there's no asterisk here.

Keystone Law Group, P.C.

4.8366 Google reviews

Keystone Law Group is a probate-focused firm on West Olympic that concentrates on conflict: trust, estate, and conservatorship disputes rather than routine document drafting. Its own site lays out work across trust and will disputes, fiduciary misconduct, property disputes, and elder financial abuse, and the reviews match, with clients recounting contested trusts, long mediations, and being represented as beneficiaries. People describe a team that is honest about likely outcomes and estimated costs before taking a case on.

What people praise

  • Clear and honest about likely outcomes and costs from the first consultation
  • Strong communicators who keep clients updated through long cases
  • Deep bench, so cases get handed off smoothly when needed
  • Skilled at mediation and settlement conferences
  • Explains complex probate legalities in language anyone can follow

Worth knowing

  • Built for litigation and disputes, so a simple will-drafting job may fit better elsewhere

Probate Superheroes - The Werner Law Firm

5.0287 Google reviews

Probate Superheroes is the Los Angeles office of The Werner Law Firm, a California estate planning and probate practice that, per its site, has run for more than 40 years across ten offices statewide. The team handles living trusts, wills, and probate, and reviewers describe free initial phone consultations, in-home notary signings, and guidance that stays honest even when a matter turns out not to need a lawyer. Several clients came to them during a death in the family and praised how the firm handled tight timelines.

What people praise

  • Compassionate and expedient during difficult, time-sensitive matters
  • Honest enough to tell clients when they can handle something themselves
  • In-home notary signing for clients with limited mobility
  • Responsive team that keeps families informed
  • Long track record across estate planning and probate

Worth knowing

  • Works across many California offices, so confirm which team handles your file

Our take: It posts a perfect 5.0, the same as Singh, and we rank it third only because its review base is smaller. On quality alone, it's elite.

Yang Law Offices

4.9306 Google reviews

Yang Law Offices is a general-practice California firm downtown on Flower Street, led by founder Elizabeth Yang, with estate planning listed among practice areas that also span family law, business law, intellectual property, and civil litigation. Its recent reviews lean heavily toward business and nonprofit governance work, where clients praise strategic, clear-eyed counsel through complicated disputes. The firm keeps standard weekday hours and takes calls for strategy sessions across its Southern California locations.

What people praise

  • Responsive and transparent about options at each step
  • Strategic counsel that clients trust in high-stakes situations
  • Explains matters clearly and keeps people informed
  • Handles a broad range of legal needs under one roof

Worth knowing

  • A generalist firm, and much of its recent review volume describes business and nonprofit work rather than estate planning, so ask specifically about trust and will experience

Our take: Also a perfect 5.0, and it ranks fifth only because its 239-review base is the smallest here. For a focused trust or will, that specialization is the draw.

How we ranked these firms

Every figure here comes straight from Google. Rating is the live star average; review volume is how many clients rated the firm, weighed against the rest of Los Angeles; confidence blends the two, so a strong score backed by hundreds of reviews outranks the same score built on a handful. We also track how recently people are still leaving reviews. No firm can pay us to move any of these numbers.

What does an estate plan cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Most LA firms price core estate planning as a flat-fee package rather than by the hour, so what you pay depends on how complex your estate is. A single will costs far less than a full living-trust package with pour-over wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, and blended families, business interests, or out-of-state property push it higher. Probate and trust litigation are billed differently again. Because fees vary widely by firm and situation, ask each office for a written flat-fee quote at the free consultation rather than relying on a range.

Where these firms sit in the metro

The five spread across the Westside and beyond: Singh in Beverly Hills, Keystone and Werner near West Los Angeles and the 405, Yang downtown in the financial district, and Joshwa Wang out in South Pasadena toward the San Gabriel Valley. If you’re searching for an estate planning lawyer near me in Los Angeles, most of these firms take remote consultations and, in Werner’s case, will send a notary to your home, so proximity matters less than fit.

What to ask before you hire an estate planning lawyer

  • Is the fee a flat rate for the whole plan, and what documents does it include?
  • Will a licensed attorney handle my file, or mostly paralegals and staff?
  • How much of your practice is estate planning versus other areas of law?
  • Do you help fund the trust, meaning retitle accounts and property into it?
  • How do you handle updates later if my family or assets change?
  • What’s your typical turnaround from consultation to signed documents?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. The order comes from public Google data: live ratings and review volume. A firm can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and placement, but that never changes another firm’s score or where it lands.

How did you choose these five?

We compared every Los Angeles estate planning firm with a real Google track record, then ranked on rating, review volume, confidence, and recency. Firms whose recent reviews described work outside estate planning were weighed accordingly and noted on the page.

Do I need a living trust or just a will?

That depends on your assets and goals, and it’s exactly what a first consultation is for. In California, a living trust is often used to avoid probate on real property, but the right answer is specific to you, so ask each firm directly.

Is the initial consultation free?

Several firms here, including Werner and Yang, describe free initial phone consultations in their reviews. Confirm when you book, since policies differ between offices and matter types.

How often is this page updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the Google data changes.

The bottom line

For a standard living trust or will, The Singh Law Firm is the sure thing, with the volume and rating to back it. If your situation involves a contested trust or estate instead, call Keystone, and whichever firm you choose, get the flat-fee package in writing before you sign on.
