Legal Representation in Probate Court to Transfer Assets

The after death transfer of assets is under the supervision of the Superior Court of California in the probate department.  Legal representation saves time and effort. The amount of fees an attorney is paid is fixed by California law.

Legal Representation in Probate Court for Disputes by Heirs and Beneficiaries (Will Contests)

California law states the execution or signing of a will, trust or amendment is ineffective to the extent the execution was procured by duress, menace, fraud, or undue influence. Legal representation is needed to defend against these charges or to prove the existence of duress, menace, fraud or undue influence.

Attorney Prepared Living Trusts, Wills and Estate Plans

California residents owning real estate or other assets in excess of $150,000 should have a revocable, living trust to avoid probate. In addition to a trust, these documents are needed.
