Self-representing In Probate Court? Trust Beneficiary In California
Curious whether anyone here has self-represented as a beneficiary in a trust / probate matter? I have limited funds and am not getting the kind of results from the attorney(s) I was hoping for. I know my case inside and out and what the legal issues are, and I have all the evidence I need to prove my claims. Several attorneys have heard my claim and/or reviewed my evidence and agree my argument is strong. I just haven't been able to move things forward despite spending a few thousand on an attorney, whose greatest value was simply validating everything I already put together, and confirming some information about damages. It's been suggested I find an attny to take the case on contingency, but i think that could take months and I'm feeling the pressure of time. The only mystery for me is what forms / documents need to be filed (complaint? request to compel?); and the format for those documents. I suspect I can find guidance through the law library, or perhaps pay a freelance paralegal to prepare the documents, which is much less expensive than paying an attorney. Wondering if anyone else has been down this road? What was your experience? Did you achieve a favorable outcome to your matter?
