A proper estate plan begins with a consultation with an expert. That's why at Albrektson & Shumate LLP every client meets first with one of our attorneys to assess needs on an individual basis. For many, the most appropriate estate-planning document would indeed be a new living trust, but others may have greatly differing needs. If your loved one has died, you may need to go through the probate process.
If your loved one had a trust, there are legal issues associated with winding up a trust. If things are not going well in a probate or trust administration, you may need some litigation support. Albrektson & Shumate LLP was just voted"Best Attorneys in San Bernardino County" by the readers of the San Bernardino Sun and Redlands Daily Facts! Kathy was recently honored for her six years of service as a board member of the Family Service Association.
Christopher Shumate recently set a new personal record time of 1 hour and 39 minutes in this year's Run Through Redlands 1/2 Marathon! The Kiwanis Club of Redlands Scholarship Foundation recently honored Albrektson and Shumate Law Office with the Outstanding Business Award.

Upon the death of my mother, I was referred to Albrektson & Shumate LLP.
The staff was friendly, efficient, timely, and professional.
Our lawyer, Christopher Shumate, was incredible; compassionate and extremely knowledgeable (especially with our unique legal problem with the will).
He is a man of integrity and patience, and a very competent lawyer.
He was clear and concise with explaining the issue, processes, court procedures, and the intended resolve.
We were informed and updated every step of the way.
