Bay Area Divorce Paralegal & Estate Planning
Our mission is to help customers successfully complete their own divorce, family law or estate planning matter, without paying attorney fees. Established in 1980, Bay Area Divorce was started by law school graduates who decided to use their knowledge to assist customers who are looking for an alternative to the high cost of attorney fees.

Bay Area Divorce, its officers, directors and employees ARE NOT LAWYERS and cannot and do not give you legal advice, nor do they represent you in court. The information contained on this site can be found in most legal self-help books and on many other web sites, and you should not construe this information as legal advice in any manner whatsoever.
Services
We work for you! We prepare all legal documents for family law and estate planning matters for a low flat fee. We properly prepare and file all your documents with the court, arrange service on the opposing party, and get you a final judgment or a court date if needed. We draft all your estate planning documents as required by California Probate Codes and transfer your real property into your Trust.
Fill out a simple questionnaire to provide the information we need to prepare your legal documents and email back to us. Our document specialist review your answers, create your documents, get your signature, submit your papers to court and serve the other party by mail or arrange personal service.
Save time, money, and protect your family and loved ones with our estate planning documents:. Probate is the legal process through which the court decides how an estate will be divided. The court will look to your last will to decide how to distribute your property and will follow the will, unless it is successfully contested by your heirs.

WOW! I’m from out of town, so finding someone I could trust to get me through my divorce was stressful. Carol and I connected immediately. Not only is she thorough and precise, she’s punctual and always follows up with you! Also, she has a great working relationship with the court staff. Don’t trust this phase of your life with anyone else.

Was going to charge me $600-800 to file FL-141, when I talked to another paralegal who only charged $50, she said it’s a very simple form.

Carol has been a patient and thorough help with my divorce case and other legal matters. She explains all the legal mumbo jumbo and has experience in dealing with courts and lawyers, understanding legal documents and procedures and has even gone out of her way to help me when the court jurisdiction was in a different county (Los Angeles). She is friendly, helpful, follows up, and has very reasonable rates. If a matter you bring to her requires a lawyer, she will tell you that as well. She is honest, helpful, professional and knowledgable, what else could you ask for?

Carol is amazing! I contacted her for a prenup for myself and my-soon-to-be wife (well, now she is my wife). Carol responded quickly. My wife and I have odd work schedules, and Carol was extremely willing to accommodate us- she was even willing to drive to our apartment! We only had a short time before the wedding to get everything finalized, and Carol was able to get it down just how we wanted and within the time frame we needed it done. She is very personable and professional. On top of that, she has helped me with other legal questions at no extra charge! If you are looking for legal assistance
