Areas of Practice

In the event of a disagreement concerning the provisions of a will or trust, the matter may be brought to probate court as estate litigation. Each party will have the opportunity to present their evidence and supporting testimony to substantiate their assertions. Subsequently, a judge will decide regarding the distribution of the estate through a court ruling. Engaging the services of a skilled estate litigation attorney can significantly minimize procedural mistakes that may result in an unfavorable outcome for your case.

At our law firm, we understand the importance of safeguarding your assets and ensuring they are distributed according to your specific wishes. By establishing a trust, you can effectively bypass the probate process. Unlike a will, which is subject to probate, a trust enables you to have greater control over the distribution of your assets.

Without a trust, the probate process in California could potentially lead to the distribution of your assets based on intestacy laws, which may not align with your desired outcome. Moreover, probate proceedings can be lengthy, often spanning several years, and come with significant expenses. Additionally, the probate process is a matter of public record, compromising your estate affairs’ privacy.

At our firm, we specialize in trust-centered estate plans that encompass all the necessary legal documents to safeguard and protect your legacy. By working with us, you can rest assured that your assets will be distributed per your intentions while avoiding the burdensome and public nature of probate proceedings.
