Probate Court Location
Most trust administration and probate matters for Coto de Caza residents are heard at the Costa Mesa Justice Complex (3390 Harbor Blvd).
Coto de Caza is one of California’s most prestigious residential enclaves, known for its privacy, sprawling estates, and world-class amenities. For the families living behind the gates of Los Ranchos Estates, the custom manor homes of The Village, or the golf-course fairways of Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club, an estate plan must be as refined as the community itself. High-net-worth individuals in this region require more than standard forms; they need advanced strategies to navigate federal estate taxes and the preservation of multi-generational wealth.
