Probate and Trust Litigation Has Doubled in Southern California

Did you know probate and trust litigation has doubled in Southern California over the past ten years?

The death of a loved one is a traumatic experience. Sometimes a parent dies without a will, or the family disagrees over the terms of a will or a trust. When these disagreements can’t be resolved, probate or trust litigation results. Working with a good attorney is the best way to get through the process in these situations. Probate and trust ligation are complex and time-consuming. It’s often costly. When a family disagrees over important facts, discovery is required to obtain the evidence. This usually includes depositions and requests to obtain relevant documents. Even after the facts are obtained, the family can disagree over applying the laws. In those cases, a judge is sometimes needed to rule how the law will be interpreted.
