California is one of the most inheritance-disputed states in the country. The state’s wealth is spread across generations, and with a high concentration of older residents, complex family structures, and valuable assets like real estate and investments, disputes over inheritance are quite common.
Trust Law Partners, LLP is fully built around this environment. We’re not a general practice firm that dabbles in estate law; we’re a team that focuses exclusively on trust and probate litigation. Everything we do revolves around helping people resolve inheritance disputes and reclaim what’s rightfully theirs.
Who We Are and What We Do
We’re not just any law firm. We are a focused team of inheritance litigators who work only on estate and trust disputes. Our firm exists for one clear reason: to help beneficiaries and heirs recover their rightful inheritance when something goes wrong.
And when there’s someone being cut out of a will or assets mysteriously disappearing, we step in, and we fight hard. Our lawyers have more than a hundred years of combined experience. We’ve handled hundreds of disputes and recovered over $300 million for our clients.
Examples of the Work We’ve Done
Here are some of the outcomes we’ve delivered for our clients:
- We recovered $8.1 million in a trust contest where a sibling created a fake trust while their mother was mentally incapacitated.
- We secured $3.5 million through mediation after proving that a will was signed by a parent who has dementia.
- In a rare case involving financial elder abuse, we took the case all the way to a jury verdict and won $2.1 million.
- We resolved a $12 million heirship contest involving family members from different countries claiming the same estate.
What You Get When You Work With Us
If you’re coming to us, chances are you’re already stressed. Someone has either taken something that wasn’t theirs, cut you out of an estate you were supposed to be a part of, or is sitting on assets that belong to you. We don’t waste time making you jump through hoops. We start by understanding your side of the story. Then we come up with a strategy fast.
Once we start the case, we stay with it. That could mean drafting legal motions, contacting witnesses, working with forensic accountants, or sitting down in mediation to try to resolve things outside of court. And if none of that works, we’re completely ready to go to trial.
We keep you informed throughout. You’ll never have to guess what’s going on or why something is happening. We’ll explain the options and next steps clearly, and you’ll always be the one making the big decisions, with us doing the hard legal lifting.
