Law Office of Ravi Patel - Oakland, CA

Overview

We are the Law Office of Ravi Patel, a trust litigation firm located in Oakland, California. Our practice is dedicated to assisting clients with trust-related matters, including filing Heggstad Petitions across the state.

Our founder, Ravi Patel, is a trust litigation attorney who graduated from Duke University School of Law. He began his legal career at a general practice law firm in Bakersfield, California, where he gained extensive experience in various legal fields.

Our firm assists trustees and beneficiaries in claiming trust property, removing trustees and amending, interpreting or enforcing trust provisions. One of our key services is filing Heggstad Petitions, which allow trustees to claim property inadvertently left out of a trust. If a deceased relative did not transfer ownership of a house or financial account into their trust, we can help you claim that property without the complexity and expense of a full probate proceeding.

In addition to trust litigation, we offer trust administration services. When the original creators of a trust pass away, the successor trustee is responsible for gathering the trust assets and fulfilling the decedents’ wishes. Our office provides guidance to manage the trust estate effectively.

We also emphasize the importance of estate planning. Whether you are a parent with young children needing to appoint guardians, an unmarried couple wanting to designate each other as co-agents, or a property owner ensuring a responsible successor trustee, having a clear and enforceable plan is crucial. We are here to help you ensure your last wishes are respected. Contact us to schedule a consultation and discuss how we can assist you with your trust and estate planning needs.
