With a comprehensive estate planning and administration practice, we are able to represent a wide range of clients involved in probate or estate litigation. We represent trust beneficiaries and heirs named in wills. We also represent excluded heirs who believe there was foul play. Finally, we represent trustees and executors in charge over a disputed will or trust.
The majority of estate and probate litigation involves one of the following scenarios:
- Allegation of undue influence: When one party has convinced a mentally incompetent or dying person to alter a will in their influence or cut others out entirely.
- Disputes over valuation of assets: This could include allegations of missing or misappropriated assets and gifts prior to death.
- Inconsistencies in a will or trust: This occurs when a trust and an estate outline different plans. The court must determine the deceased's true wishes if a settlement cannot be reached.
- Failure to secure independent review: Under California law, independent review is necessary when conflicts arise. We can manage these concerns for our clients.
