Why You Should Hire a Del Mar Trust & Estate Litigation Attorney

Trust and estate conflicts often emerge when communication breaks down or when one party believes their rights are being disregarded. These disputes can delay distributions and inheritances and result in costly legal consequences.

You should consider speaking with a Del Mar litigation attorney if you are:

  • A beneficiary who believes assets are being mishandled or unfairly distributed
  • A trustee or executor facing accusations of negligence or misconduct
  • A disinherited family member questioning the validity of an estate plan
  • An heir or co-trustee caught in a dispute over asset control or document interpretation
  • An interested party concerned about undue influence, elder abuse, or fraudulent amendments

Each of these scenarios requires experienced legal representation to protect your rights and assert your best interests. Our attorneys can help guide you and build a compelling case on your behalf.

What Are Some Common Trust & Estate Litigation Disputes?

At Avant Law Corporation, our Del Mar litigation attorneys handle all types of trust and estate disputes. Common matters include:

  • Will contests involve legal challenges to the authenticity, validity, or execution of a will document.
  • Trust disputes related to disagreements over trust terms, distributions, amendments, or revocations.
  • Breach of fiduciary duty concerning self-dealing, negligence, or breach of duty by trustees or executors.
  • Asset misappropriation due to missing funds, hidden accounts, or unfair allocations
  • Lack of capacity or undue influence in situations where a decedent faced coercion or lacked mental clarity during the execution of estate documents.
  • Disputes over estate taxes and debts arise from how obligations are handled before asset distributions.

Many of these cases require in-depth investigation, discovery, expert financial analysis, and extensive witness testimony. That’s why having an experienced lawyer is essential to protecting and advancing your rights.

Adrian S.Google Review

I contacted the Avant Law Corporation to assist me with settling my sister’s estate. I worked closely with Neal Scharm and his secretary, Maria Bautista, whom I would recommend highly to anyone who was in my position.

While I am sure that Neal, Bill and Richard had other clients while I was their client, they always made me feel important. I would go so far as saying that they became more like family to me, who had MY best interests in mind. Everything went as smoothly as I could imagine, and I am happy to say that my sister’s estate has been finalized.

So, the question is this: Would I give my recommendation to the Avant Law Corporation, and in particular Neal Schram, Maria Bautista, Bill bender, and Richard Andrews? Yes, without a doubt! Thank you for confirming my trust in each of you and becoming my friends.

John W.Google Review

Long story short, we have such confidence in Paul we have already referred two potential new clients to him.

We met with Paul Caprara, who has taken over the practice of retiring Neil Schram, with whom we had a long relationship. Paul and his paralegal Maria Bautista made us very comfortable right from the beginning. We met with Paul, he explained everything in detail, explaining how a trust would save our assets and our heirs from unnecessary taxation. After some hesitation on our part Paul met with us again (unbelievably at no charge) to go through everything once more. Long story short, we have such confidence in Paul we have already referred two potential new clients to him.

Paul’s team was knowledgeable, thorough, and took time to explain everything.
We recently worked with Paul Caprara at Avant Law Corporation to complete our family trust, and very pleased with the experience. Paul’s team was knowledgeable, thorough, and took time to explain everything. In addition, the paralegal, Maria Bautista, was extremely professional during the notary process. We highly recommend Paul and his team.
