Serving a successor trustee can be overwhelming for the unprepared. If you’ve recently become successor trustee, or need assistance with an ongoing administration, contact me for guidance in administration of the trust estate.

Probate Administration

For some, grieving the loss of a loved one is compounded by the realization that their loved one died without an estate plan designed to avoid probate. In that case, often it is necessary to initiate probate proceedings to legally administer the estate of the deceased. Probate can often be a lengthy and unpleasant experience, but with effective legal counsel, you may likely avoid ever having to walk into court. In some cases, a formal probate may not be necessary and other actions authorized under the California Probate Court may be utilized to solve the issue. While fees for a formal probate are fixed by statute as a specific percentage of the value of the estate, many probate services may be provided for a flat fee.

What our clients think of us

Erik Dodd has been my personal attorney since 2013. I find him to be intelligent, straight-forward, proactive, and understandable. He analyzes situations in a way that puts them into perspective, and then he recommends alternative solutions. I can rely on the fact that he is ethical and honest, and I love his sense of humor. He doesn’t take himself too seriously; however, he is painstakingly serious about his work. Erik’s well-rounded knowledge base and his professional approach to handling my issues is exactly what I look for in my business relationships, and I am lucky to have him advise me on all legal matters. On a scale of 1-10. He’s an 11. I feel comfortable in unconditionally recommending him.
