The Darvish Firm
Probate Litigation Attorney In Los Angeles
The purpose of creating a trust is to avoid probate altogether, ensuring the transfer and administration of trust assets from the Settlor (the person who created the trust) to the Beneficiary, through a third party called a Trustee. Disagreements often arise, and beneficiaries or trustees may complicate the process, especially when valuable assets are involved or when one beneficiary also serves as the Trustee. Probate administration, on the other hand, is handled through a court process, while trust administration remains private unless litigation arises, where one party files a petition.
