Our Case Results

RMO has a proven track record of protecting people and defending legacies.

Settlement Approved, Confirmed and Enforced

Represented trustee, at trial and on appeal, to enforce a settlement agreement addressing his co-trustee’s a breach of fiduciary duties, after the offending co-trustee fraudulently claimed he had satisfied his obligations under the agreement.

Jurisdiction ≠ Forum Non Convenience

In a published opinion, obtained reversal of a lower court decision confusing jurisdiction with forum non conviens, re-establishing the trust beneficiary’s right to continue prosecuting his fraud, undue influence, and financial elder abuse claims.

Trust Contest Win Buttressed

Successfully defended trustee and sole beneficiary against trust contest by disinherited heir. Then, when the trial judge erroneously entered judgment creating potential exposure for subsequent litigation, prevailed on appeal to modify the judgment to insulate the trustee from any possible further litigation.

Life Insurance Proceeds Confirmed as Trust Asset

Represented trustee of irrevocable trust in a published appellate decision confirming the trust could be funded properly with life insurance proceeds even though all formalities typically required by the terms of the life insurance policy had not been satisfied.

“Death Bed” Trust Amendment Thwarted

Within weeks, secured evidence sufficient to convince the surviving step-parent perpetrator of a “death bed” trust amendment that disinherited our client to abandon the amendment and pay our client his high seven-figure inheritance.

Retirement Benefits Secured for Surviving Spouse

Represented the surviving spouse in successfully defending her status as beneficiary of her deceased husband’s retirement benefits against contest by the decedent’s former wife and children, who had claimed lack of capacity and undue influence.

Conservatorship Thwarted

Defeated wife’s attempt to have herself appointed as conservator for husband when dad resisted wife’s efforts to unduly influence him to change his estate plan in her favor.

Trustee Removal for Fraud

Neutralized and secured removal of a hostile co-trustee who was attempting to bilk our client’s trust of millions of dollars through a series of fabricated claims.

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

Trust litigation disputes can arise due to conflict between multiple parties, disagreements surrounding distribution, and more. A trust litigation attorney in your area 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.

PROBATE ESTATE LITIGATION

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 your area, RMO Lawyers is here to help.

CONSERVATORSHIPS

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 conservatorship/guardianship attorneys can help.

FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE

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 your area can assist clients in establishing a case against perpetrators and seeking appropriate restitution for the victim.
