California Court of Appeal

In a case arises from a claim of attorney malpractice in the preparation of an estate plan, in which the jury found that attorney-defendant had breached the standard of care in failing to properly implement plaintiff's express instruction to maintain her assets as her separate property in the trust document which defendant prepared for her and her then husband, the trial court's judgment is affirmed over defendant's appeal regarding fault, where the trial court correctly gave the comparative fault instruction requested by defendant.
