Settling an estate through California courts demands meticulous adherence to statutory deadlines and formal probate accounting. Serving as accomplished probate lawyers and trusts lawyers, the firm manages every phase of the legal process:
- Probate administration, including initial petition filings, creditor claims management, and asset distributions.
- Filing Heggstad petitions to transfer real estate into existing trusts without undergoing complete probate proceedings.
- Preparing Spousal Property Petitions to transfer community and separate assets efficiently to surviving spouses.
- Contested trust litigation, resolving disputes over fiduciary accountings, trustee removal, and breach of fiduciary duties.
- Defending and challenging wills and trust amendments involving allegations of lack of capacity or undue influence.
Proactive Estate Planning, Wills, and Pet Trusts
Every estate plan must reflect the unique dynamics of the individuals it protects. Working as estate planning lawyers and wills lawyers, the attorneys draft customized revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, and durable powers of attorney. The firm also prepares dedicated pet trusts to guarantee lifetime care for beloved companion animals, special needs trusts for disabled beneficiaries, and provides guidance on Proposition 19 property tax transfers. Clients frequently consult an attorney at the firm to obtain Certificates of Independent Review, effectively insulating their plans from future litigation.
Conservatorships, Elder Law, and Restraining Orders
Protecting vulnerable loved ones is a core priority of the practice. As experienced power of attorney lawyers and elder advocates, the firm handles limited conservatorships for adults with developmental disabilities and general conservatorships for aging relatives suffering from memory impairment.
