Have you written your last will and testament? Perhaps you think you have plenty of time, or perhaps you don’t think you have enough assets to need a will. In truth, everyone needs a will.

We ensure that your wishes are preserved and documented no matter what happens. At Katje Law Group, we take the time to get to know you and your goals when writing your will so that your last testament reflects these. And, if your life circumstances or obligations change, we can help revise your will or write a new one. Call us today to get started.
What Does A Santa Ana Will Lawyer Do?
A will lawyer is an estate planning attorney who writes wills. However, this isn’t the only thing our legal team does. We also review your will to ensure it meets your needs and covers your responsibilities and can revise or rewrite an outdated will on your behalf.
A will appoint an executor of your estate, someone who administers the terms of the will, pays creditors, and then distributes the remainder of the assets according to your wishes. Often, a trusted family member or responsible friend handles this task, but our firm can also serve as your executor if you don’t have anyone in your life you trust with this role.
If you have a child, you can name a guardian in your will. We can help you understand how this works and evaluate your options for a guardian.
Representing You In A Will Dispute
Our firm doesn’t just write wills. We also represent people who wish to dispute the terms of a will or challenge its legitimacy. You may have had a loved one who was a victim of undue influence, and you’re suspicious that their new will may result from this.
Perhaps your inheritance isn’t what you thought it would be, and you wish to challenge a will. We review the document and your situation, then provide legal advice to help you take the next steps. If you go to court, we can represent you in a hearing or trial.
