CALIFORNIA TRUST, PROBATE AND COMPLEX LITIGATION, ESTATE PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES

We deliver value and winning results through careful listening and effective, aggressive representation.

The firm of Spector Weir LLP is composed of attorneys who have been or currently are trust and estate litigators. We know what happens when a person does not adequately plan for physical disability, mental decline and/or family dysfunction because we've repeatedly fought these battles for our clients. We thus use the wisdom and experience we have developed to help counsel our planning clients through what may be delicate and difficult circumstances so that our clients' goals are met as efficiently and peacefully as possible. However, when our clients need their rights and/or intentions protected, we are ready, willing and able to litigate those issues.

Estate Planning and Administration Team
Estate Planning is the legal practice of helping a client to plan for the gathering, management and distribution of their assets upon their death. The Estate Planning practice is complicated by laws relating to tax, legal rights of surviving spouses and children, as well as other heirs, beneficiaries and creditors, the prior health of the decedent, as well as the family dynamic of the decedent (i.e. children, divorce and re-marriage). Our team of attorneys and staff is experienced in guiding clients through these issues in order to clearly identify each client's goals, and to develop a plan that efficiently meets those goals.

Estate Administration is the process following someone's death used by the person in charge of the Trust or Estate to notify the heirs and/or beneficiaries of the administration, collect the decedents assets, and distribute the assets to the right persons while providing an accounting of the activities which occurred during the administration.

Trust and Estate Litigation Team
The trust and probate complex litigation team at Spector Weir LLP represents people and entities engaged in battles over assets usually following someone's death. We represent heirs, beneficiaries, interested parties, administrators, trustees and executors in a variety of such disputes including complex trust and will contests, claims of undue influence, elder abuse, fraud, and breach of fiduciary obligations. We also handle complex actions involving the interpretation of trusts, wills and other estate planning documents, claims seeking the appointment and removal of administrators, custodians, conservators, executors and trustees, and actions to recover assets allegedly wrongly taken.

We understand the difficulty, complications and high emotions of these disputes, because the trust, probate and complex litigation team at Spector Weir LLP effectively handles these circumstances every day, and we are prepared to deal with them and win. We consistently and successfully navigate through these challenging cases to achieve our clients' goals. Our team delivers positive results through aggressive, effective representation.

Through our work as advocates, over time we have also been recognized as effective arbitrators and mediators of trust and estate disputes.

A commitment to service: Spector Weir LLP provides clients with the highest quality of legal services, performed by experienced practitioners who consistently deliver winning results.
