Important Disclaimer
No attorney/client relationship has been formed between the California Probate Center and you by your use of this blog. It is not reasonable to rely on general legal information as a substitute for the personal face to face counsel of an attorney regarding the specific facts of your case. Likewise, do not use the comment system to obtain legal advice. The comment system is designed for feedback regarding topics of general interest to the community, not the specific facts of your case, and therefore the California Probate Center will not establish an attorney/client relationship through that system. Such comments may be ignored and you will not receive a timely response, therefore jeopardizing your rights (triggering the loss of money or property), so do not use the system for that purpose. The information on this site should not be considered wholly accurate. For example, it may become outdated, may or may not be updated, and is not nearly comprehensive enough to protect your rights on a case by case basis.
