Q: I'm having trouble trying to find out who my San grandfather's attorney was, he passed way april 21St in San jose ca
73 when he passed
A: It would be easier to ask the person responsible for your grandfather's estate (trustee, executor or administrator) or another relative in your family. There is no public database of attorneys and clients, especially since the attorney-client privilege prevents lawyers from talking with a non-client about whatever the attorney and client discussed. That having been said, you may want to try going to the courthouse in the county in which your father lived to see if a Probate case has been started. If so, the documentation filed with the court will show the name of the lawyers. Some counties have their court cases online, but many do not. Try the court's website first but, if there is nothing there, your best bet would be going to the court and asking to see a copy of the court's file on any probate matter involving your grandfather.
