    Probate Litigation in Los Angeles

    The legal terminology for types of probate litigation can vary, but they primarily revolve around:

    • Whether or not the executor or trustee is taking care of the estate’s assets and other parts in the right way.
    • Whether the will or trust is the most up-to-date document and reflects the wishes of the family member or loved one who died recently.
    • Whether or not the executor or trustee of assets usually owned by an estate is selling and giving away assets in a financially smart and fair way.

    Depending on the extent of the documents and the concerns of the families who are engaged, it is possible that resolving these difficulties may require the parties concerned to initiate a will dispute, the appointment of a new administrator, claims over guardianship, and even the removal of trustees.

    Navigate the Probate Process After the Loss of a Loved One

    Seasoned litigators recognize that life is complicated, which is often worsened during the devastating event of someone dying. There are many themes that we evaluate when taking on cases, such as:

    • Blended families and numerous marriages – Attempting to unite two families can be a life-long process, and it is sometimes made considerably more difficult when money and relationships with assets are involved.
    • Irregular estate planning – Most people prefer to divide their assets as evenly as possible among their children, spouse, and other relatives. Yet, in other cases, this is either not possible or not desired, which can lead to problems during the probate procedure.
    • A misguided trustee or executor – This happens when one is incapable of handling complex financial concerns such as asset sales or administering poorly drafted documentation.

    Working with a competent probate litigation attorney in Los Angeles who can draft and submit paperwork that avoids future complications with beneficiaries is the simplest approach to avoid these issues in the first place. We handle cases as they are, not how we wish them to be. This often involves modification or reformation lawsuits and related claims by parties.
