Our Los Angeles practice of Will Contest Law includes all of the following areas of law, including will or trust contest lawsuits:
Will Contest (Wills and Trusts): Our Elder & Will Contest Law practice focus of preparing a plan of action for management of assets during incapacity and for distribution of the assets at death for residents in Los Angeles, when your know your family members will be unhappy with your decision.
Preparation of Power of Attorney Documents: Power of attorney documents are created as a means to assist in decision-making during difficult times by appointing an agent to make decisions on behalf of the principal.
Preparation of Advance Health Care Directives: When it is time for making health care decisions, this document serves as a simplified version of your decision regarding your health and as a statement of your authority to allow someone else to make health care decisions for you when you are no longer able to do so yourself.
Trust Administration: When a person dies (or even when he/she is incapacitated), the assets in trust need to be managed and then distributed upon death. This process is referred to or called trust administration.
Probate Administration: When there is no trust, when the trust is invalid, or when a trust is not funded, or where there are other questions about the will and trust, certain court processes allow for distribution of assets at death and admission of the will in court.
Conservatorships & Will Contests: Conservatorships are protective proceedings where an adult requests powers from the court to care for another adult. A Los Angeles Conservatorship is a complex process that requires expert advice and can have a significant impact on the ability to contest a will or trust and their respective results. In a way, conservatorship battles are a precursor to estate lawsuits. There are also times when trust contests are done within a conservatorship.

Guardian Ad Litem: Many times, an incapacitated person who is also elderly has rights to claims in lawsuits. Our Guardian Ad Litem can help protect the disabled in lawsuits. Mina Sirkin is on the Guardian Ad Litem Panel of the Los Angeles Superior Court’s Probate Court.
Financial Elder Abuse and Will Contest Laws: We help recover assets of elderly in probate and civil court where the assets have been taken by another person, or used for a wrongful purpose. Financial abuse of elders is also frequently part of litigation in trusts and estate contests.
