Our San Francisco Probate & Estate Litigation, Estate Planning and Administration, Personal Injury, and Civil Litigation Practice

Our attorneys focus on the following legal areas:

  • Estate, Trust and Probate Litigation:  Even with careful planning, disputes are common relative to the provisions of a will or trust. The San Francisco estate planning attorneys at Michael B. Bassi, A Law Corporation have extensive experience in will litigation and trust litigation representing beneficiaries and fiduciaries.
  • Trust and Probate Estate Administration: We advise trustees in the administration of trusts including situations where disputes arise with beneficiaries or co-trustees. We are also skilled at handling all aspects of the probate process, including representing executors and administrators when probate disputes or trust disputes arise. 
  • Serious personal injury:  Our firm has over 25 years of experience representing victims of accidents involving serious injuries in San Francisco.  We understand the complex medical issues and California laws involved when someone is seriously injured or killed as the result of the negligence of someone else.  We provide personalized, responsive representation for every case
  • General civil litigation:  We handle all aspects of litigation pertaining to a variety of business and real estate matters.  Our attorneys have litigation experience in California and federal courts, and even before the United States Supreme Court
  • Wills: A San Francisco wills lawyer can explain the difference between life in the 20th century and life in the 21st century in terms of how your estate will be left once. More rights are available to a person signing a living will after October 1, 1999, and a person needs the newer living will in case he or she ends up in an "end stage condition." You need a San Francisco living trust lawyer, so that assets you haven't conveyed won't become subject to probate. The personal representative in charge of the probate is entitled to receive compensation from the estate assets for his or her services.
