Guidance for Probate & Estate Administration

Sometimes you may be called upon to protect the interests of a loved one after they are gone. If you are the named executor of an estate, you have a set of obligations and responsibilities that must be completed according state-defined rules and regulations. Regrettably, probate duties must usually begin while you are still grieving. The process can get especially complicated if another party contests the validity or the provisions of the will. At The Law Office of Mark Gullotta, I offer the supportive legal counsel you need to navigate through probate court. Additionally, I have years of litigation experience and can provide the assertive representation you require to protect your rights and the requests of your departed loved one.

Insightful Counsel for Your Estate Planning Needs

When thinking of estate planning, many people believe that it is only necessary for the wealthy. However, this grave misconception can leave assets vulnerable, put wishes for end-of-life care up for debate and/or create tension among heirs. Everyone, no matter the size of their assets, should have an estate plan in place to guard their financial interests.

I also provide clients with a free trust review to go over with them what their trust says and how it will affect their family. If you purchased a trust in the past, I can review the trust if you don’t know if it’s up to date with current law, if things in your family have changed since you last did your estate plan or if you simply don’t understand what is in your trust. Call my office to schedule an appointment to review your trust and make sure it is up to date!

Broad Financial Perspective

I began my career as a CPA and then obtained my MBA from Santa Clara University. My accounting background has provided me with a broad financial perspective not commonly found in other law firms. I can recognize the monetary implications of most financial estate planning measures and help you accurately decide which would best suit your goals.
