property and assets distributed according to a pre-mortem estate plan.

At the Los Angeles Law Offices
of Peter C. Bronstein, our California probate / estate administration attorneys represent
clients and their families in the efficient and timely administration of an
estate plan, including identifying heirs, collecting assets, liquidating
liabilities, tax issues and ultimate distribution of property according to the
decedent's wishes.
At the Law Offices
of Peter C. Bronstein, our probate lawyers always stress the importance of a flexible,
comprehensive estate plan that will provide for family members, avoid excessive
taxation and deliver assets according to the client's wishes and not the
government or the I.R.S. When disputes arise or a will is absent,
however, our probate litigation lawyers can negotiate or litigate an estate
claim at all levels of the California courts.
While mediation may be an attractive alternative, our probate attorneys
will only accept a settlement if it's in the client's best interests and in
keeping with their legal goals.
When a dispute cannot be
resolved, clients across California look to the Law Offices
of Peter C. Bronstein to mediate and resolve disputes between family
members or the government related to:
- Probate - validity of a will, identification
of heirs, distribution of assets
- Executor / Estate
Administrator - breach of fiduciary duty,
appointment / removal
- Wills - Disputes / Contested Wills /
"restraints on alienation" (ability to distribute property)
- Trusts / Foundations
- validity and legality
