Epstein Holtzapple Christo LLP | Marin County Lawyers | Epstein Holtzapple Christo LLP

Trust, Estate, and Fiduciary Litigation

For more than 30 years, we have been handling trust, estate, and fiduciary litigation -- including will and trust contests -- across California. Our depth of experience gives us significant advantages over our competitors.

Trust Administration and Probate

Our experienced team guides clients through the complexities of trust administration and probate with personalized attention and legal expertise. We handle all aspects of estate settlement, from asset distribution and tax planning to navigating court proceedings, providing peace of mind during difficult transitions.

General Civil Litigation

We believe that understanding our clients’ businesses helps us obtain the best possible results for our clients in civil disputes. Although as trial lawyers we look forward to the courtroom battles, our goal is to obtain the best possible result for our client, whether that be through trial or settlement.

Estate Planning

A well-crafted estate plan is one of the most important gifts you can give your family. We work closely with clients to design wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives that reflect their wishes and protect what they've built. Whether your estate is straightforward or complex, we bring the same careful attention and legal depth that defines everything we do.

Protective Proceedings

When a loved one can no longer protect themselves, swift and decisive action can make all the difference. We help families establish conservatorships for incapacitated adults and guardianships for minors, and we pursue aggressive legal remedies, including restraining orders, to address financial elder abuse, domestic violence, and other threats to vulnerable adults and children. Our goal is to protect the vulnerable and hold wrongdoers accountable, with the urgency and compassion these situations demand.

His good sense of humor and level of compassion throughout provided a sense of comfort and a friendship beyond the attorney/client relationship."
