FOR ATTORNEYS
Nevada and California local counsel for matters with a Nevada or California connection.
For attorneys with a client matter tied to Nevada or California, Heritage Law provides a focused, non-confidential starting point for estate, trust, deed, property, probate, or ancillary-probate questions.
Start an Attorney InquiryWhen a Nevada or California connection needs local attention.
An estate may be open in the decedent’s home state while real property or a separate probate question sits in Nevada or California. The right approach depends on how the property is titled, the documents involved, and the facts of the estate. Heritage Law provides local-counsel services in both Nevada and California, with the applicable requirements determined by the matter and jurisdiction.
LOCAL-COUNSEL MATTERS
Matters we may be able to discuss.
The following are the types of Nevada- or California-connected questions that may be appropriate for an initial attorney inquiry.
01 — Nevada/California ancillary probate
02 — Nevada/California estate or probate matters
03 — Nevada/California trust or deed questions
An initial inquiry helps Heritage Law assess whether the matter is a possible fit. It does not determine the procedure that applies to a particular estate.
How an attorney inquiry works.
Identify the primary matter and Nevada or California connection.
Share the state where the main estate or trust matter is being handled and the Nevada or California property, county, or probate connection.
Provide the limited information requested.
Use the attorney inquiry form to provide only the information needed for initial fit and conflict screening. Do not send documents or detailed confidential facts.
Heritage Law reviews the inquiry.
If the matter appears to fit the firm’s current scope, Heritage Law will follow up about whether further discussion is appropriate.

What should I include in an initial inquiry?
Start with the matter category, the state where the primary estate or trust matter is being handled, the Nevada or California property or county connection, and only the limited information requested on the attorney inquiry form.
Can Heritage Law review a Nevada or California connection when the main estate is being handled elsewhere?
Heritage Law provides local-counsel services in Nevada and California. The appropriate process depends on the property, documents, jurisdiction, and facts of the estate.
What if the matter involves California property or a California trust question?
Heritage Law will review the jurisdictional connection and the matter details to determine whether the question fits the firm’s current scope before any engagement is discussed.
