Why estate planning matters in Dublin.
Dublin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Tri-Valley, attracting young families and professionals who are building wealth quickly. With rising home values and new developments, many Dublin residents are surprised to learn that their assets may already exceed California's probate threshold — making estate planning not just wise, but essential.
Dublin's median home price well exceeds California's $184,500 probate threshold — most homeowners need a living trust.
Newer developments mean many families are buying their first homes and haven't considered what happens to those assets.
Dublin's young median age means families with minor children need guardianship designations in their wills.
Proximity to the San Ramon office makes in-person consultations convenient for Dublin residents.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about Dublin.
Yes. Most Dublin homes are valued well above California's $184,500 probate threshold. Without a living trust, your family may face a 12–18 month probate process that costs 4–8% of the estate. A living trust avoids this entirely and keeps your assets private.
Govind's office is in San Ramon, just a short drive from Dublin. Many Dublin clients find it convenient to meet in person. Phone and video consultations are also available for added flexibility.
If you've recently purchased a new home in Dublin, it's critical to ensure your estate plan accounts for the new property. A living trust must be "funded" — meaning the property title must be transferred into the trust — for it to avoid probate.
