Mitchell A. Port

I am Mitchell A. Port, an attorney based in Los Angeles, and I represent individuals, families, and businesses in various legal areas including probate, trust administration, estate planning, and IRS tax controversies. My work primarily involves administering a decedent's estate, identifying, and distributing assets to beneficiaries, and handling other issues that may require probate court intervention. These issues include lost wills, will contests, the removal of executors and trustees, petitions for probate, trust administration, probate litigation, and other legal matters that must go through the California probate court, such as conservatorships and guardianships. Additionally, I handle post-mortem tax planning and have successfully represented clients in probate cases involving a wide range of assets including real estate, stocks, bonds, and investments in various entities like general and limited partnerships, limited liability companies, sole proprietorships, corporations, and active businesses. If your probate case involves tax controversy matters, such as unpaid income taxes owed by the deceased or estate taxes, I have significant experience in tax controversy and can provide simple yet effective solutions. Probate is rarely straightforward, and working with a law firm should simplify, not complicate, the process. Probate litigation can be stressful, with high risk exposure and unpredictable results. You need a lawyer who will streamline the process and aim for the most direct route to a successful outcome. At the Law Office of Mitchell A. Port, we are committed to helping our clients navigate these challenges effectively.
