Professional Representation

Goff Legal provides professional representation for fiduciaries and beneficiaries in a wide variety of cases within California. A Licensed Private Fiduciary (LPF) is an entity and/or individual who has been legally licensed to serve as a fiduciary under California laws. LPFs are responsible for managing and protecting the assets of those they serve and making decisions that best serve their clients’ interests. LPFs typically provide services such as estate management, financial planning, trust administration, conservatorships, and guardianships.

Our experienced attorneys are deeply dedicated to providing legal services that are customized and tailored to the individual needs of each client. Our team of knowledgeable professionals is well-versed in all facets of California estate, trust, and guardian matters, as well as litigations such as will contests and dispute resolution. We recognize that not every situation is the same and we strive to obtain solutions that best fit the unique circumstances of each case. From providing sound legal counsel to ensuring your rights are safeguarded throughout the process, our attorneys have a wealth of experience and resources to draw from when it comes to delivering quality legal representation. Our focus is always on helping our clients achieve their desired outcomes while protecting their best interests.

Sophisticated Business Perspective

Goff Legal understands the needs of fiduciaries because we have been representing them for more than nine years. In addition to our extensive experience, we are also well-connected with the Professional Fiduciary Association of California (PFAC) as an associate member. We’ve presented on their behalf numerous times and serve as a reliable source of information when it comes to keeping fiduciaries updated on their legal obligations and potential strategies.

Our vast understanding of the nuances involved in this type of work has enabled us to provide comprehensive counsel across multiple industries, allowing us to deliver effective solutions time and time again. To further support our clients, we continually track the latest legislative changes to ensure that our advice is up-to-date and pertinent to their situation. With our top-notch service and commitment to fiduciary care, you can trust that your needs will be handled promptly and with the requisite expertise.

If you’ve already got your accounting services in place, we’re here to offer an extra layer of peace of mind. Our team of experts can thoroughly review any trust accountings prepared by fiduciaries and evaluate them against the highest probate code standards. We’re seriously dedicated to ensuring all accounting requirements are met with precision and accuracy, leaving you free to focus on what matters most. Trust us, you’re in good hands.
