Probate
After a family member has passed away without a trust, you will need to file a probate action to transfer property and assets as dictated in your family member’s will. If your family member did not have a trust or a will then the probate court will distribute the property and assets according to California law. While you could do the probate yourself, it will likely cause significant delays in the distribution of the estate’s assets. I can help you with the probate process and together we can speed up the distribution of the assets. Don’t add more stress to the already stressful situation of a family member passing away, you need the helpful advice of Attorney Andrew Wolfberg. Read more about Probate.
Estate Litigation
Sadly there are some who take advantage relationships and do what they can to cause unjust distributions from a will or trust. From other family members to hired care givers, there are many stories about people who have used undue influence to convince a sick or elderly person to make an unfair distribution to one family member (at the exclusion of other family members) or to include a care giver or someone from the care giver’s family in a will or trust. There are laws that are designed to protect vulnerable people who have been manipulated. Read more about Estate Litigation.
Pet Trusts
There are many attorneys are unfamiliar with Pet Trusts. Pets are often given to family or friends with no direction and, unfortunately, without the money necessary to care for them. I can help you prepare a pet trust that will ensure that your pets are cared for just as you have cared for your pets during your lifetime. A Pet Trust will provide money and directions to assist in day-to-day care issues as well as life or death decisions for your pets. Read more about Pet Trusts.
