Losing a loved one can be a difficult and emotional time. When a loved-one passes with or without a will, their estate will be probated through a local court of law.
Probate can be very challenging and difficult, but it does not need to be with our assistance. Whether you are a relative who is appointed to represent your deceased family member, or an heir, I will assist you through the probate process.
When someone passes with a will, there is a process by which the will is filed with the court in an attempt to establish that the will was their true last testament of what happens to their estate and their final wishes.
A person who passes without an estate plan in place (via a will or trust) is said to be intestate and the laws of the State of California dictate who inherits their estate.
Many people delay planning how they will manage their assets during their life and how they will dispose of their assets after death. Do not wait until it is too late. It is NEVER too early to plan for your future and protect your assets.
Too frequently, individuals associate having an estate plan is for the wealthy. That is an incorrect assumption.
In addition to asset management, minimizing gift, estate, generation skipping transfer, and income tax, estate planning also includes preparing for incapacity and avoiding probate or limiting the issues that may arise during the probate process.
If you do not take control of your assets and your care should you become incapacitated, that responsibility may rest on the shoulders of family or a stranger appointed by the State. No one wants their care to be determined by a stranger who does not know them or their wishes.
I will help guide you through the planning devices you may need and those that may be best for your situation whether you need a Trust and supporting documents or a simple Will and powers of attorney.
Civil Litigation covers a wide variety of issues including Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Medical Malpractice, amongst other areas of law.
Generally speaking, civil litigation is a legal dispute between two or more persons and/or entities who seek monetary damages or performance under a contract. Many times, attorneys represent clients from the inception of the matter through trial.
While each person has the right to represent themselves in a civil lawsuit, that responsibility comes with a plethora of laws and rules which must be followed. This can be overbearing for the injured party.
