Simple, Flat-Fee Estate Planning
Built for Clarity, Protection, and Peace of Mind
Estate planning should be straightforward. You should know what you are getting, what it costs, and how it protects your family.
At Jenkins & Jenkins, we offer carefully curated, flat-fee planning options designed for California families who want to avoid court, reduce stress, and put the right protections in place without unnecessary complexity.
Each plan is attorney-prepared, delivered through a streamlined process, and priced upfront so there are no surprises.
How Our Plans Work
Not every family needs the same level of planning. The right plan depends on your assets, your family situation, and how much protection you want built in over time for your family and legacy.

Foundational Trust Plan
Our Most Popular Plan for Parents and California Homeowners
The Foundational Trust Plan is designed for families who want to avoid probate and put a clear, practical plan in place for the future.
This plan provides meaningful protection without unnecessary layers or legal complexity.
This plan is a good fit if you
• Own real estate in California or have minor children
• Want to avoid probate
• Want a plan in place if you become incapacitated
• Want inheritances handled in an organized and controlled way
How this plan works
A revocable living trust allows your assets to be managed privately if you become incapacitated and transferred efficiently at death. Inheritances are structured by default to provide oversight and reduce the risk of mismanagement.
We do not offer bare-bones trusts that distribute everything outright with no protections (our Essentials Plan can cover those wishes in a simpler way).
What's Included
• Revocable Living Trust (aka Family Trust or Living Trust)
• Staged inheritances and simple contingency options
• Pet care planning options
• Certification of Trust
• Pour-Over Will
• Guardianship nominations (temporary & permanent options)
• Durable Financial Power of Attorney
• Advance Health Care Directive, HIPAA Authorization, & End of Life Wishes
• Schedule of Assets, Assignment of property to Trust, & Gift Lists
• Trust Transfer Deed for One California Property
• Recording of Deed with County (County Recorder fees included)
• Trust Funding guidance and follow-up support
Digital backup of your entire estate plan and mobile notarization from the comfort of your home is included in every plan as well!

Legacy Vault Plan
Added Protection for Families With Long-Term Goals
The Legacy Vault Plan is designed for families who want more than basic probate avoidance. This plan adds protections that help preserve assets, reduce risk, and provide guidance over time.
It is ideal for families who want their estate plan to work both today and for the next generation as well.
This plan is a good fit if you
• Have children and want long-term inheritance controls
• Are part of a blended family or have a concern around family dynamics
• Want protection for your children from divorce or creditor risks
• Want added safeguards during incapacity
How this plan works
The Legacy Vault Plan goes beyond simple probate avoidance and adds more comprehensive planning features to your trust. Advanced provisions can help to protect against special circumstances important to you, such as protecting against remarriage of the surviving spouse, protecting against elder fraud/abuse, or protecting a child’s inheritance for their lifetime.
What's Included
Everything in the Foundational Trust Plan, plus
• Advanced trust provisions
• More detailed structured inheritance planning
• Continuing lifetime trust options (divorce/creditor protected inheritances)
• Remarriage protection planning (irrevocable trust provisions)
• Enhanced incapacity safeguards (disability panels & automatic co-trustee provisions)
