Trust Contests Lawyers in Los Angeles

Handling Pretrial, Trial, Appellate, and Mediation Proceedings

Individuals with substantial assets are frequently establishing trusts in addition to or in place of a will. A trust is a document created for an individual or entity, known as a trustee, to manage the trustor's property.

Trusts can be created while the trustor is alive, known as an irrevocable or living trust. A revocable trust can also be established as a substitute for a will outlining how assets should be distributed when the trustor dies. Similar to a will, the validity of a trust may be contested. Trustees appointed to oversee the trust are sometimes sued for improper accounting and trust mismanagement. When trust disputes occur, contact the law firm of Sacks, Glazier, Franklin & Lodise LLP in Los Angeles, California, for experienced representation.
