AREAS OF PRACTICE
Litigation involving wills and estate issues often generates powerful emotions, which can have a long lasting impact on family relations. Our firm will then pursue your case in the appropriate manner, which may involve negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
A person who is named as a Successor Trustee, Executor or Administrator has substantial responsibilities and serves as a fiduciary. Should any such person breach their fiduciary duty and the estate ultimately incurs a loss, that individual serving in that capacity can become personally liable for losses as the result of his or her actions. We wish people would not argue and fight over assets following the passing of a loved one, but any such issues needs to be addressed in a timely and professional manner in order to avoid further complications. We have some of the best and most experienced trust and probate litigators in Southern California.
Family members have a number of options when it comes to preventing financial abuse of the elderly, which includes trusts, conservatorships, financial powers of attorney, Adult Protective Services, and in-home supportive care service options. Our team can recommend a solution that best suits the needs of anyone needing assistance in this regard with dignity, respect and preserving self-reliance for as long as possible.
