Trust, estate and probate litigation is a specialized area of the law. Most Trust and Will litigation cases require multiple petitions and complaints (e.g. lawsuits) on different, but related, subjects such as financial elder abuse, capacity issues, undue influence claims, creditors claims, and probate procedures. A single case can have all of these aspects, and more. To successfully navigate this type of case, an attorney must first have a thorough and in-depth knowledge of allCalifornia laws1 applicable to the creation and administration of trusts, wills, estates, and probate. Additionally, an attorney must understand the complex litigation rules and procedures2 in California, which apply to all phases of a case including motion practice, discovery, and trial.
