Haggerty v. Thornton, 68 Cal.App.5th 1003 (2024)

Attorney Oleg Cross prevailed in a California Supreme Court case on behalf of a beneficiary contesting a handwritten trust amendment. The ruling reinforced the availability of the statutory revocation method in California for modification and revocation of estate planning documents, vindicating the rights of trustors to make changes to their estate plans – with or without the assistance of an attorney.
