Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Trust settlement
We were give incorect legal advice during a trust settlement in which a
purchase agreement for a house in 2003 was ruled invalid causeing us
to lose a house which later sold for 400k more during a forced sale. I
would like to sue the trust/trustee/trustee attorney for damages. A
second trust attorney has already stated that there were many errors in
the intial trust settlement due to failure of advice not the due diligence
of the trustee however the trustee has a signed/notarized agreement
from other benificiaries agreeing to a ''settlement price'' but the trustee
failed to covey the property as agreed.

Re: Trust settlement
While your case sounds favorable, it is hard to evaluate your case based on what you have written. If you are interested in moving forward, you should act quickly as you may be facing a short statute of limitations. If I can be of assistance, please contact me.

Was the ruling based on what the attorney did?
