California Attorney David L. Crockett has been providing comprehensive legal representation for over 40 years in the areas of Trust and Estate Litigation, Trust and Probate Administration, and Estate Planning including preparation of Wills and Trusts.

Mr. Crockett is dedicated to the careful preparation of documents to meet the specific needs of his clients.

As a Licensed Certified Public Accountant and Real Estate Broker, Mr. Crockett prepares all types of estate, trust and real estate documents including tax returns and accounting. These licenses allow planning and administration to run smoothly, giving clients an advantage in litigation. Additionally, Mr. Crockett has owned and managed rental properties, apartments and hotels, giving him insight and understanding into related business, real estate and financial matters.

Some blogs provide “how to” information and others discuss unusual situations that are not commonly known or written about in textbooks.
