Our 3-Step Legacy & Legal Protection Process

At San Diego Probate Attorneys, we use a proven, three-step process to build estate plans that hold up in court—and prepare families for more than just probate. Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to a contested will, trust dispute, or other legal challenge, we help protect your legacy and your legal position.

Step 1: Deep-Dive Planning Session

We begin by mapping out what would happen to your assets and loved ones if no plan existed—or if your current plan falls short. We also flag any areas vulnerable to litigation, such as unclear beneficiary designations or outdated trusts. From there, we tailor a strategy that aligns with your values and withstands scrutiny.

Step 2: Signing Meeting

Roughly four weeks later, we’ll execute your estate documents, walk through your asset summary, and outline how to avoid common disputes. You leave with more than signed papers—you leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan built to hold.

Step 3: Check-in Meeting

Our final step confirms that all assets have been properly titled and beneficiaries updated. We’ll handle lingering questions, address any complications, and make sure your plan is ready for both smooth administration and, if necessary, legal defense.

Probate administration is the legal process of settling an individual’s estate after they pass away. This process involves validating the will (if one exists), identifying and inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. It can be complex and time-consuming, often requiring careful guidance to ensure compliance with state laws and minimize delays. An experienced probate attorney can help streamline the process, easing the burden on family members during an emotionally challenging time.

Probate Administration

Probate litigation arises when disputes occur during the probate process, often involving challenges to the validity of a will, disagreements among beneficiaries, or claims of executor misconduct. These cases can become emotionally charged, especially among family members. A skilled probate litigation attorney helps protect your rights, resolve disputes efficiently, and ensures that the final wishes of the deceased are honored, while safeguarding the interests of beneficiaries.

Probate Litigation

Trust litigation occurs when conflicts arise regarding the terms or management of a trust. This can include disputes over trustee actions, disagreements about asset distribution, or allegations of mismanagement or undue influence. Trust litigation often requires a skilled attorney to advocate for beneficiaries or trustees, ensuring the trust is administered fairly and in accordance with its original intent. A knowledgeable attorney can help resolve conflicts efficiently, often preserving family relationships in the process.

Trust Administration

Trust Litigation

Not all disputes end with a handshake. Civil litigation covers a wide range of conflicts between private parties—from property rights to breach of duty claims. Whether you're suing or being sued, we analyze the legal landscape early and guide you through every phase: pleadings, discovery, motions, trial, and enforcement. Our focus is always the same—protect your position, minimize risk, and keep strategy front and center.

Civil Litigation

A bad ruling isn’t always the final word. If trial court errors shaped your outcome, an appeal may be the right move. Appeals demand a surgical review of the record, strong legal writing, and deep knowledge of California appellate procedure. We handle appeals from probate verdicts to civil judgments, helping reverse flawed decisions—or defend victories under scrutiny.

Appeals

A deal gone wrong can trigger lawsuits that disrupt businesses and damage trust. We represent clients in contract litigation involving missed payments, disputed terms, or failed obligations—whether written or verbal. These cases often hinge on timing, documents, and the fine print. We move quickly to protect your interests under statutes like CCP § 337 and enforce outcomes with precision.

Contracts & Agreements

Courtroom battles aren’t the only path forward. Mediation provides a structured, private setting to resolve disputes without the cost and pressure of trial. We prepare you to negotiate effectively—arming you with facts, legal leverage, and a clear bottom line. Whether court-ordered or strategic, mediation can be a smart move when your time, money, or legacy is on the line.

Mediation

Smart settlements aren’t just about compromise—they’re about control. We help clients lock in enforceable agreements that close the book on costly litigation while avoiding future landmines. From drafting bulletproof terms to enforcing them under CCP § 664.6, we handle every step. If you’re facing a potential deal, we’ll help you settle on your terms—or walk away ready to litigate.

Settlements

Before you commit to litigation—or walk away from a claim—know your position. Our case assessments break down your rights, risks, deadlines, and costs so you can make informed choices. Whether it's a business dispute or trust litigation, we give you a clear view of the terrain—and the tools to navigate it strategically.

Case Assessment

Business disputes escalate fast. Whether it’s a fractured partnership, shareholder fight, or fraud claim, commercial litigation demands speed, clarity, and legal force. We represent California business owners and stakeholders in high-stakes conflicts, from urgent TROs to long-haul litigation. Our goal: protect your company, enforce your rights, and keep your business mission on track.

What Our Clients
Are Saying

When our kids were very small my husband and I had basic a will and trust created. Now that we are in our later middle age, with our kids growing and a pandemic raging, we realized it was probably time to review our needs and do an update. Daniel and his wife Miriam (she helps Daniel with some of the admin stuff) we're so amazing. Not only were they extremely professional and knowledgeable but they were also such nice people to deal with.

Monta Zelinky Briant

My wife and I recently worked with Daniel on our estate planning and found him to be a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and patient. Estate planning is not necessarily a fun experience (!) but Daniel’s high level of professionalism and expertise in this area kept us in good hands throughout. We also really appreciate that we can check in with him periodically to review these plans over time. We highly recommend the professional services of Daniel and his team.

K CD

We engaged Dan to update our will and trust. Our children are now young adults and our assets have changed over the years. Dan thoughtfully guided us through the process and helped illuminate nuances to our estate. Dan is extremely thorough, patient and connected to additional resources if needed. We also very much appreciated the sensitivity to safety during the pandemic - utilizing zoom and an outdoors signing of the final documents. The entire process was swiftly coordinated and finalized. My husband and I highly recommend Dan and team.

Debra Sammon

I cannot express more highly the positive and professional experience my family has had with the Law Office of Daniel Weiner. Mr. Weiner was responsive, thorough, patient, following through on every detail, taking the time to not only answer every question, but also making sure we really understood and were comfortable with the decisions being made. Daniel helped us move forward on finalizing some important family goals and we look forward to having a strong relationship with his office for years to come.
