Santa Ana Estate Planning
When someone passes away without an estate plan, his or her family will not be able to inherit property without a probate proceeding. While creating a Will is the first step to ensuring that your family is taken care of in the ways that you feel are appropriate, a Will does not eliminate the need for an expensive and time-consuming probate. As part of our estate planning legal services, we help clients in Santa Ana and the surrounding areas with Wills, Trusts, and Estate Plans, with special attention paid to Probate Avoidance, Distribution of Assets, Tax Planning, and Avoidance of Intrusive Court Proceedings. We strive to plan your estate so that your property and finances go to your loved ones, not to legal fees or taxes.
Santa Ana Trust and Probate Administration
If you have recently lost someone you love, we understand if mounds of paperwork are frustrating or overwhelming. Both trust administration and probate administration are complicated processes, and can have legal ramifications when done improperly. We can guide you through the process, assisting you with submitting the necessary papers, filing petitions if need be, and other services related to probates and trusts.
Santa Ana Trust and Probate Litigation
On occasion, when someone dies and either they do not have a Will, it is unclear, or if there is contention about its validity, legal action may become necessary. Our attorneys have successfully represented clients with probate litigation as well as trust litigation.
