My wife and I are in our early 70ies and felt it was high time to get our personal affairs in order and arrange for an Estate Plan, i.e. a Living Trust, Will, Health Care Directive and so on. Not having had the need for an Attorney in the past we started Cold Turkey. After a number of phone interviews and a few personal consultation visits we were less than thrilled. We felt what was presented to us was mostly a cookie-cutter approach and get it done and over with quickly. In one of our internet searches we came across a link headline for The Probate House. We did not bother to follow the link thinking our aim was to avoid probate in the first place, so no need to dig deeper. After taking a break we decided to call Law Firms we had on our list but for one or another reason we had not contacted them jet. As faith has it, The Probate House was first on the list and after a short phone call and a friendly invitation for a personal consultation we met with Sibylle Grebe the firms Principal. Sibylle took a genuine interest in our story (everyone has a story at that age) and shared some of her own life experiences with us. She gave us valuable advise and encouraged us to take our time to sort things out. Over the course of several months we made some changes, asked many questions and at no time we felt hurried or being pushed to make up our minds. Over the entire time communication with Sibylle and her staff, especially Cindy Kelso her Paralegal was excellent, prompt and cordial. ?THANK YOU? Sibylle and Staff for your service and putting our minds at ease knowing we have a Good Plan in place. K & M

I highly recommend this firm to handle your estate needs. Sibylle, Lorenzo and their dedicated staff are simply as good as you'll ever find to handle these matters. They are friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, informative and have your best interest at heart. Estates and trusts can get complicated and messy. You will need proficient attorneys to navigate this process to successful completion. After talking with a few other attorneys, it was clear that The Probate House was by far the most qualified firm to hire. Give them a call today, you'll be glad you did!!

I called on behalf of a friend who is having difficult time dealing with his mother's death and asked for my help. I wanted an appointment for a consultation and they refused to allow me to attend the meeting with my friend. Thought that was very unproffessiolnal. When someone is grieving they should allow moral support. What were they going to do take advantage of his sitution why wouldn't they allow someone to attend with him. Very disturbing.

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Sibylle Grebe and her staff. At the initial consultation Ms. Grebe took time to give me relevant information. It was evident she was experienced in estate planning. During the process, if I had a question or just wanted to check the status of my estate plan, I always received a prompt response.

A very long overdue thank you to Sibylle Grebe and Lorenzo Stoller for taking control of a seemingly out-of-control situation during the early days of Covid in 2020 in protecting my father and his estate from his deceased wife's children. I initially met with Sibylle to have her represent my dad after his wife had passed, in figuring out how to best protect his assets. While she was unable to represent him due to capacity issues, she was able to represent me. Sibylle had me move quickly to find the original trust documents which had likely been drafted without much input from my father a few years earlier, floating everything from making sure I had co-power of attorney and co-trustee powers on all the documents to considering a conservatorship. Lorenzo then took over the case and seamlessly helped draft new documents that protected my father and helped me keep oversight over his wife's children. My dad now resides with me in Washington state, and has since regained some capacity. Although he has shaky recollection of that year due to the stress of his grief and Covid, I am forever grateful to the Probate House for doing what needed to be done to protect the livelihood for which he had worked his entire life as a physician in Los Angeles. At 85, he has never been happier and is healthy. As a former estate planning and probate attorney, The Probate House is easily the best. Thank you, Sibylle and Lorenzo.

Sibylle Grebe, Lorenzo Stoller, and the staff at The Probate House possess all the attributes a law firm must have to earn the accolades of its peers; professionalism, expertise in law, excellent results for its clients?but for me, just as important is the compassionate and caring attitude shown to me. It has been over a year since Ms. Grebe and then Lorenzo Stoller became my attorneys in an ongoing conservatorship case. I am forever indebted to them for their excellent service and for their support, clear explanations, and respectful treatment. I am so fortunate to have The Probate House representing me.

Between the days of July 16th through July 20th I traveled from Stockton, CA to Los Angeles CA to visit family and to meet with an attorney at another firm to receive clarification and further instruction on a probate issue surrounding a storage unit in my late mother's name and a non-family member. That firm cancelled my in-person appointment after I called stating I would be arriving behind schedule. I then called THE PROBATE HOUSE L.C. and spoke with staff, who after listening to my plight scheduled a free phone consultation with Attorney Lorenzo C. Stoller who I found to be very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about my particular probate situation, suggesting three options that were applicable, one which required printing affidavit form SB-13100 which the storage facility said it would accept without the need of me contacting the party we want to remove from the list. I then went to the office to offer a gratuity to show my appreciation to Attorney Lorenzo C. Stoller and upon my arrival, I met Principal Attorney Sibylle Grebe who explained that the consultation was complimentary and though my gesture of offering a gratuity was appreciated, it was not necessary. My experience with both Principal Attorney Grebe and Attorney Stoller was very positive. You see my probate issue is not a big-ticket issue and yet this firm treated my dilemma with compassion, kindness, and professionalism I found lacking at the previous firm contacted and provided a solution that the storage facility accepted without issue. My siblings and I are very grateful for Attorney Stoller's advice as we now will not lose family items of great sentimental value to us.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
