Probate & Trust Services We Offer
Affairs surrounding probate and trusts can be complex, which is why a skilled attorney is often essential in navigating the legal processes around these issues. We offer all the following services and more to clients in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.
Trust litigation disputes can arise due to conflict between multiple parties, disagreements surrounding distribution, and more. A trust litigation attorney in Los Angeles can be invaluable in navigating the trust litigation process, defending against potential disputes, and helping heirs receive their rightful inheritance while preserving the wishes of the deceased.
When someone passes with or without a will, the family typically goes through the probate process. The probate process can be overwhelming, as families must ensure the distribution of assets while also coping with the loss of a loved one. An experienced attorney can guide you in the process and support you in carrying out all the necessary steps for properly distributing the estate. If you’re looking for a probate attorney in Los Angeles, RMO Lawyers is here to help.
Conservatorships and guardianships may be helpful in situations where a vulnerable individual is incapacitated and unable to make important financial or day-to-day decisions on their own. If you are looking to establish a conservatorship or guardianship, are seeking to change the terms of an arrangement, or have objections to an arrangement, our Los Angeles conservatorship and guardianship attorneys can help.
Cases occur where bad actors take advantage of vulnerable elderly individuals for financial gain. These cases can include anything from caregivers directly stealing credit cards to outsiders engaging an elderly person in a financial scheme to obtain their financial information. An elder abuse attorney in Los Angeles can assist clients in establishing a case against perpetrators and seeking appropriate restitution for the victim.

Direct, honest, and helpful in our conservatorship dispute!
“Absolute pleasure to deal with! I highly recommend Scott and RMO. They are direct, honest, and helpful, and guided my family in a conservatorship dispute. Honesty these days is harder and harder to come by and it’s much appreciated!”
True professionals who provide five-star service!
“For a person who did not know where to start in seeking guidance for my family’s estate and legacy, Patricia who was the intake specialist and Scott Rahn were an amazing introduction to this world! Their friendliness, willingness, and prompt responses/follow-ups were appreciated and timely. True professionals! I have them on my important people list to share with my friends and family who may need their services. Five star Service!”
Aggressive and Compassionate Advocacy
“Scott Rahn and his team are not just a zealous advocates but caring individuals. Scott has a great bedside manner and takes care of his clients who are often times in a very vulnerable position. I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for an aggressive yet compassionate attorney.”
A Huge Advantage
“RMO lawyers represented me in a civil suit involving corporate fraud, profiteering, etc. This was a complex case involving many moving parts, while going up against one of the largest law firms in LA. They settled the case. During the term of the litigation, they treated my case as though they were the plaintiff. They work with utmost diligence, competence and care. Sean and Matt knew my case better than I did, They used great strategy and their knowledge of the law was a huge advantage to us. This case represented my life’s work, savings and wealth, going up against a monster. I am glad I trusted them with it.”
Utmost diligence in complex litigation.
“Talking with Mr. Rahn was truly uplifting! He had all of the qualities I was looking for in an attorney. I was truly surprised of how good of a listener he was. I was expecting him to just run through my issues, dish some false hope, and be done with our consultation, but that was not the case at all. We talked well beyond my allotted consultation time and I was offered valuable advice and even a remedy to my situation where lawyers before him were unable to do. I can’t say enough about this wonderful man and what he has done for my family. We can now breathe comfortably. Thank you Mr. Rahn.”
Scott Rahn guided me through a complex case.
“Scott Rahn is an expert in this area of law. I have an unscrupulous sister who moved my father to another state. My sister sold his home and drained his bank accounts. Scott helped and guided me through the process. I highly recommend him and without hesitation would refer him.”
