As Estate Litigation Lawyers in Los Angeles, the Boesch Law Group has a proven track record of success in the handling of these types of cases, including the landmark case involving Anna Nicole Smith and the judgment which awarded her $475 million dollars.

“J. Howard Marshall was mourning the loss of his second wife and his mistress when his driver arranged for him to meet Smith, a young single mother who was working the lunch shift at a Houston topless joint. ‘Don’t go love-falling,’ the chauffeur advised. But Marshall was smitten, said attorney Philip W. Boesch, Jr., and he gained a new lease on life. ‘ He loved this woman to the point that he wanted to adopt and marry her at the same time,’ the lawyer said.” – Los Angeles Times
”With a paucity of direct evidence….Boesch decided to present to the court a steady accretion of circumstantial evidence – hundreds of peripheral documents and hours of testimony that would gradually erode [the other side’s] initial advantage.” – US Lawyers Weekly
Whether prepared as complex trust instruments in the office of a prestigious law firm, or scrawled on the back of a napkin, estate planning documents often raise issues of contract interpretation, rules of construction, and the intentions of the decedent, the draftsman, and the heirs. In an atmosphere charged by trauma or the death of a loved one, issues and disputes become problems and disputes that can challenge any Estate Litigation lawyer. Prepared and sensitive, Estate Litigation lawyers at the Boesch Law Group guide clients through investigation, discovery, negotiation, hearing and trial when necessary and settlement when possible.
Did he have the ability and coherence to understand what he was doing when the trust or will was prepared? When does natural and honest help become “undue influence”? When protecting family treasure, what type of influence is forbidden? Estate Litigation lawyers at the Boesch Law Group regularly and successfully confront issues of undue influence and testamentary capacity, in court, in negotiation and in resolving the most complex problems in the Estate Litigation field.
When families find themselves in dispute after the death of a loved one, with emotions running high and often controlling the business sense of the parties, the Estate Litigation lawyers at the Boesch Law Group are expert at navigating and negotiating through sensitive and often difficult family relationships, in order to obtain a fair and just settlement without trial, if possible, and when necessary, the lawyers at the Boesch Law Group are the strongest advocates for trial on the merits. Elder abuse allegations bring special challenges, whether or not jury trial is available, whether or not the claims are consolidated with probate-related issues. Because claims of financial abuse, physical isolation or physical abuse, may dictate the outcome of estate litigation, our Estate Litigation lawyers are experts in uncovering and proving financial frauds, misappropriations, and actions which take advantage of the elderly and the weak. The Boesch Law Group prosecutes such cases where warranted, and when parties attack well-meaning caregivers, we provide the most capable defense.
