You will hear all of the financial advisors that are on TV and radio say to use these strategies for an estate plan to protect your assets and avoid probate. What they do not tell you is why you need to avoid "probate!" I have never heard any of these financial advisors or estate planners say that you need to stay out of the probate courts because they are totally corrupt and out of control!!
I took a course as part of my paralegal degree program in Wills, Trusts, and Probate. The textbook was very informative. It covered a lot of information but still was at an introductory level. The focus of the entire textbook was to stay out of the probate courts!!
THE PROBATE LITIGATION NIGHTMARE!
The first main problem is that lawyers will charge exorbitant fees for court litigation. They usually want a $5,000.0 retainer just to begin. If there are significant assets involved, then the price goes much higher. If the case has to go to “trial,” they will want $15,000.00 to $100,000.00 or more. Some cases like mine may go on for many years!!
The probate court does not provide any significant services for people that can not afford these high-priced lawyers. The probate court alone will not protect the estates or assets in the cases that come into court. They will say that you have to get a lawyer to ask the court to take any action. Many of the so-called probate lawyers are not ethical and are dishonest! They work with corrupt judges to provide a favored bias for one side over the other. These corrupt judges make decisions that will only continue the litigation so these unethical lawyers can make more money!
The probate courts have the power to appoint a so-called professional fiduciary over the trust or place a person and their estate into a “conservatorship” with a “conservator” that can control that person and his/her estate.
All of these factors can result in families being torn apart and produce a probate litigation nightmare!
PROBATE COURT CORRUPTION SERIES
This first episode will feature an analysis of a corrupt court proceeding with Judge Ana Maria Luna in the Los Angeles Superior Court Probate Department 11. This is only one of the dirty judges that I have had on my case since 2004!
This special podcast that I have produced for the Justice Channel is the first part of a series about corruption in the Los Angeles Superior Court Probate Department. The level of corruption that I have experienced and have been traumatized with since 2004 is almost unbelievable to me!
In this series, I will expose in graphic detail the crimes that have been allowed to occur in this court for years and years. I have learned a lot as a result of this traumatic judicial experience, including the fact that I am not alone in my victimization. I have come in contact with many other victims since 2004 and have learned that this is not just an isolated problem in the Los Angeles Superior Court probate department, but it is a national problem of judicial corruption!
This first part will expose the unethical and corrupt current judge over my case, now Judge Ana Maria Luna. You will be able to hear and experience what I had to go through during a recent court trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court Probate Department 11. My presentation will allow you to see both sides of the events that occurred during the so-called trial that I had petitioned for in this court on March 24, 2021.
