PROBATE LITIGATION ATTORNEY

The purpose of creating a Trust is to avoid probate altogether in order to transfer and administer the 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 make the process difficult, especially with valuable assets involved or when one beneficiary is also a trustee. Probate Administration on the other hand is handled through a court process while trust administration is private until litigation arises where one party files a petition.          Our seasoned and experienced Los Angeles trust litigation attorneys have the experience and knowledge to handle the administration of an estate including wills and trusts and any disputes that arise.
