Scott Rahn is regarded as a top probate trial attorney, focusing on high-stakes private wealth disputes, fiduciary litigation, and contentious trust, probate estate and conservatorship cases. Mr. Rahn deftly helps guide clients - heirs, beneficiaries, trustees, executors, administrators, charities, creditors and conservators - through the emotional, legal and financial issues that arise when a loved one becomes compromised, is taken advantage of, and after they pass, whenever the theft, manipulation, fraud, abuse, and other misdeeds may be revealed. Mr. Rahn advises clients on the best ways to protect and honor the legacy their loved one intended for them by helping clients secure their rightful inheritance, avoid having their inheritance taken from them, and protect against those who seek to thwart their loved one’s intent. Utilizing time-test strategies that swiftly and cost-effectively address client needs, Mr. Rahn regularly helps clients pursue and defend inheritance claims involving incapacity, incompetence, undue influence, breach of fiduciary duty, and other similar areas of dispute, including prevention and remediation of financial elder abuse.
Recognized by the Los Angeles Times as a “Legal Visionary,” Mr. Rahn also has been named a “Top Litigator” and a “Leader of Influence: Thriving in Their 40’s” by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
