Trust and estate disputes can be overwhelming, especially when family dynamics come into play. From allegations of undue influence and fiduciary misconduct to beneficiary disputes, solutions require legal skill, advocacy, and determination. That’s where OC Trial Group, APC, steps in.
As a leading Orange County estate planning practice, we have a track record of resolving highly sensitive contested matters involving trusts, estates, guardianships, and conservatorships.

Our clients include fiduciaries–trustees, banks, trust companies–and individual or charitable beneficiaries. Whether you have been accused of misconduct as a trustee or need assistance protecting your beneficiary rights, you need the powerful representation we provide. Contact us today to consult with an experienced trust and estate litigation attorney.
