Why You Should Select Me for Your California Probate
YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU WITH YOUR CALIFORNIA PROBATE REGARDLESS WHERE YOU OR THE ATTORNEY MAY BE PHYSICALLY LOCATED.
I am Bill Sweeney with over 40 years of legal experience. My practice is dedicated 100% to the probate of estates. I am a highly experienced and dedicated attorney handling probate matters throughout all of California, both large and small.
I appear in all California probate courts through out California. Click here for my experience and qualifications.
For a number of years, everyone now has a choice for the best attorney in California to assist them with their probate matters. The public can now select a qualified attorney of their choice from anywhere in California. Why is this important? You are not restricted to retaining a less qualified attorney because of where you live or where a deceased person lived. Attorneys and clients are now allowed to appear telephonically and are not required to personally appear.
How is this possible? Attorneys and parties can appear for court remotely using apps such as Zoom®, Microsoft Teams® and CourtCall®. Depending on the app used by each court you can attend a hearing by video or audio conference, unless otherwise ordered by the court. Parties schedule themselves using the applicable instruction for each court. These apps make routine, non-evidentiary pre-trial appearances more cost effective for clients and more manageable for attorneys.
Appearing remotely allows a better selection of an attorney from the State of California, money saved for the client and attorney in travel time, travel expenses and greater access for clients, witnesses or other parties.
How Am I Able to Represent Clients in All California Probate Courts?
Effective January 1, 2008, the Judicial Council adopted California Rule of Court-Rule 3.670-to promote appearances in court by telephone in probate cases. The Judicial Council is the policymaking body of the California courts, the largest court system in the nation. Under the leadership of the Chief Justice and in accordance with the California Constitution, the council is responsible for ensuring the consistent, independent, impartial, and accessible administration of justice.
Also, effective January 1, 2008, the California legislature adopted Section 367.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure providing that “It is the intent of this section to promote uniformity in the procedures and practices relating to telephone appearances in civil cases. To improve access to the courts and reduce litigation costs, courts should, to the extent feasible, permit parties to appear by telephone at appropriate conferences, hearings, and proceedings in civil cases.”
Thereafter, effective October 19, 2010, the California legislature adopted CA Govt Code § 72010 by stating that “On or before July 1, 2011, and periodically thereafter as appropriate, the Judicial Council shall enter into one or more master agreements with a vendor or vendors to provide for telephone appearances in civil cases under Section 367.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure or as otherwise authorized by law.”
