Questions
What estate planning documents do I need?
Essential documents include wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives. Our attorneys help determine which combination best protects your assets and family interests.
How does conservatorship work in California?
California conservatorships require court approval to manage another's financial or personal affairs. Our firm guides families through petition preparation, court hearings, and ongoing fiduciary responsibilities for incapacitated adults.
Can I avoid probate in California?
Yes, through proper estate planning using living trusts, joint ownership, and beneficiary designations. Our attorneys help clients implement strategies to transfer assets outside of probate court proceedings.
What happens if someone contests a will?
Contested wills require legal representation in probate court. Our firm represents executors and beneficiaries in will contests, addressing issues like undue influence, lack of capacity, or improper execution.
How do I report elder financial abuse?
Document suspicious transactions and consult an attorney immediately. Our elder law specialists help victims recover assets through civil litigation and work with law enforcement to address financial exploitation cases.
What's the difference between guardianship and conservatorship?
Guardianships apply to minors while conservatorships handle adult incapacity cases. Both require court oversight but differ in legal standards and required documentation for establishing decision-making authority.
