Carlsbad Estate Attorneys

carlsbad

Are you an abused Carlsbad Trust or Will beneficiary? If a Trust or Will was changed to disinherit you from a family member’s estate, assets were diverted from an estate prior to a loved-one’s death, or you are suffering at the hands of a bad Trustee, then you are being abused and you should know that it’s not right. You are not alone, it happens quite often unfortunately.

Maybe your parent left you out of a Trust or Will after years of telling you that the estate would be given equally to the children. You assume this will happen without giving it much thought, until it’s too late. Your parent dies and you discover the Trust or Will was changed recently to exclude you or substantially reduce your share. You know it’s not fair, but now what?

You have a right to protect yourself from abuse. If you are an abused Carlsbad beneficiary, you have rights that can be enforced in court to protect you, but it is up to you to stand up and enforce your legal rights.

What Our Clients Say

I am very glad that I found Albertson & Davidson to help me through my legal battle regarding my father’s trust. I was the trustee, and was being threatened with not getting paid for the 14 years of work that I was consumed with in managing the trust. This legal firm truly works as a team, both internally and with their clients. They were receptive to all of my questions and input, and they consulted with each other to reach what I feel was the best possible outcome. I am truly appreciative!

It’s all so confusing

Will, Trust, joint tenancy, deeds, life insurance, pay-on-death accounts, probate; it’s all so confusing? When family assets are taken from a Carlsbad elder, it’s hard to know where to start.

Our California Trust and Will laws are a complicated patchwork of rules that have no interrelation to one another whatsoever. It’s like playing different board games. For example, the game of Monopoly has nothing to do with the game of Battleship; they are different games with different rules that operate independent of one another.

The same is true of Carlsbad Trusts and Wills. They may seem similar, but they operate under different rules that have no interrelation. And it gets even more complicated when you have assets held in joint tenancy, beneficiary designations (as with life insurance and retirement accounts), pay-on-death accounts, and so on; each asset operates under its own set of rules.

If you want to challenge how assets pass at death, you may have to bring multiple lawsuits against multiple asset transfers. Suing to set aside a Will has no affect on Trust assets. Suing to set aside a Trust has no affect on Will assets. Each asset may have to be challenged with a different lawsuit depending on how that asset is held, how it transfers, to whom it transfers, and so on.

About Carlsbad

Carlsbad is a town of 115,000 people in the North County region of San Diego County. It was founded in the 1880s as a spa town, but today it’s better known for its coastline and boutique shopping. Over time it has become one of the wealthiest cities in California, due to its booming tourist industry and the large number of technology workers who live in the area. Nicknamed “The Village by the Sea,” it is located on the Pacific Coast, roughly 35 miles north of the city of San Diego.

Carlsbad is well known for its beautiful beaches, excellent surfing and biking, the giant flower fields at Carlsbad Ranch, and as the home of Legoland California. It played a major role in both the surfing and skateboarding booms in the 60s and 70s respectively, and was the site of the world’s first modern skatepark.

Carlsbad is also known for its many golf courses and connections to the golf industry—Titleist, Callaway Golf, and TaylorMade all have their headquarters in Carlsbad, and Aviara Golf Club is often ranked among the best golf resorts in America.
