Is a will good enough to avoid probate court? Who will speak for you when you can't?

Unfortunately if you own real estate worth over $61,500 (including your mortgage!) or your estate is worth over $184,500 even A VALID WILL WON'T keep you out of probate court. This is an expensive, time consuming and uncertain process whereby the court must review and validate everything. Even worse, far TOO MANY WILLS AND TRUSTS not prepared by California state bar certified trust and estate specialists ARE DEFECTIVE.

Do you really want to give a lifetime of hard work and savings to the government and lawyers?

Do you really want to leave yourself and your loved ones at risk in case you have a car accident, heart attack or stroke?

Thompson Von Tungeln is the area's largest and most experienced premier trust and estate law firm. Led by a state board certified specialist, not one of our thousands of trusts prepared by our firm over the past 45 years has been successfully challenged in court. Let us help!
