A steady hand through a difficult transition.

Understand your role and the next step.

An executor, administrator or beneficiary may face very different questions. Begin by explaining your relationship to the estate, whether a proceeding has been filed and what documents are available. Sean can evaluate the situation and discuss whether the firm can assist with administration or a dispute.

Probate matters to discuss

• Estate-administration questions.
• Responsibilities and concerns involving a personal representative.
• Beneficiary questions and contested estate matters.
• Probate litigation and pending court proceedings.
• Review of estate documents and relevant court papers.

Acceptance and scope depend on the facts and conflicts review.

Experience with probate litigation.

Sean’s experience includes representing clients in California Superior Court probate trials. He brings that courtroom experience to evaluating contested matters, while recognizing that each estate and each dispute requires its own analysis.

Prepare for a focused conversation.

Have the decedent’s name, relevant documents, any case number and upcoming court dates available. Explain the concern you want addressed. Ask how to provide sensitive documents after the initial review rather than including private family details in an unsolicited message.
