Probate is usually necessary where there is a will or a person dies without a will. The goal of estate planning is to maximize what you leave your beneficiaries while minimizing the time and expense associated with the probate process. We create trusts and other estate planning tools that proactively deal with these problems to avoid probate.
With almost a century of experience behind us, our attorneys understand the intricacies of California probate. Most people are unfamiliar with the probate process and are seeking out an attorney who will guide them through each stage. At Robertson + Lum LLP, we advise personal representatives and beneficiaries in all steps of a probate proceeding. We try to take the stress and uncertainty out of the probate process.
While the majority of probates in California resolve without difficulty, there are times when disputes delay the probate of an estate. Many issues can occur during probate litigation that can jeopardize the timely resolution of probate, but some of the most common disputes we handle include:
- Will Contests
- Beneficiary/Survivor Contests
- Challenges to a Party's Capacity
- Allegations of Undue Influence
- Widow Allowances
