Fremont, California, Will Contests Attorney
The death of a family member brings with it a myriad of conflicting emotions and responses. While the creation of a will or trust is designed to settle estate matters efficiently and according to the wishes of the deceased, it can often be a source of contention and bitterness. This is particularly the case in situations where a less formal document has been drafted.
The Law Office of Louis Willett in Fremont, California, has two goals in handling estate administrative matters: to ensure the directions of the decedent are carried out accurately and to serve the personal representative, executor or trustee in resolving problems with a minimum of stress. Contact our firm today.
Living Trusts and Poor Planning
Our firm is beginning to see a trend in estate planning which favors the use of living trusts over wills. This change favors a less formal approach to estate administration. With the use of living trusts, this informality has led to more and more estate litigation. Our firm has handled cases involving undue influence by caregivers and others, competency issues, trustee misconduct and outright greed.
Representing Executors and Trustees
In representing the executors and trustees of an estate, we take an unbiased approach. We address problems expeditiously, focusing on fair and aboveboard behavior. In representing clients in will contests, we take a close look at the facts related to the dispute and the people involved.
Our attorney has served as seminar speaker for a local college, banks, investment advisors and retirement groups in estate planning and administration matters. Our attorney's ability to resolve estate administration matters led to opportunities to serve as an estate planning instructor at local colleges and frequent speaker at estate planning seminars for banks and civic groups.
