That's Not Our Practice Area — But Read This First
Before we point you elsewhere — make sure you actually need what you think you need.
⚡ Did Your Loved One Have a Living Trust?
If the person who passed away had a living trust, you may not need a probate attorney at all. Trust administration happens privately, without court. That's exactly what we do.
Also — if there's a trust but the house was never put into it, we handle Heggstad Petitionsthat transfer assets into the trust without full probate. That's faster and cheaper than probate litigation.

California Probate and Trust does NOT handle probate litigation, inheritance disputes, or contested estates.

- Medi-Cal planning and asset protection
- Incapacity planning
