TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Santa Barbara families with trust-based plans require legal assistance for trust administration even if there is not a court case. Our expert lawyers can provide legal protection for trustees and guidance in property liquidation among other services.
PROBATE LAWYERS
Executors, will beneficiaries, surviving spouses, and relatives can all have a part to play in Probate Proceedings, and therefore have a need for an experienced attorney. In California, Probate will typically take place in the county where your loved one passed. Lawvex is able to represent you remotely for most California counties to ensure that you have the best chance at your desired outcome.
ESTATE LITIGATION ATTORNEY
Unfortunately, probate proceedings involving estates don’t always go as planned. There are several types of estate issues that can arise.
- Claims against the Estate (debts owed by the estate)
- Kinship disputes (close family left out of the will)
- Breach of fiduciary duty (assets are not distributed as required by law)
- Contested Wills (suspicion of fraud or forgery, lack of validity, duress, or mental incapacity)
Get The Best Legal Representation
In all these scenarios, it is important to have a good team of lawyers on your side. While we remain sympathetic to all parties, it is our job to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients. Lawvex’s team will help you organize paperwork, gather testimony, and get the probate proceedings started as quickly and efficiently as possible.
