A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. In addition to your own searches, you could use the tab above, Find a Lawyer. Also, most state bar associations have a section for attorney referral services on their websites. Good luck

Fences are always considered to be other structures. I don't know of any California cases that hold differently, and I suspect that the Texas case you cited has some unusual nuance to it that led to that result. Given that this fire occurred over five years ago, its hard to see how you could... Read more »

The attorney general at times defends unconstitutional laws. For example, if a person sues the state of California to prohibit some implementation of the law based upon a claim for unconstitutionality, the attorney general may defend that law against a constitutional attack.

For disability, no it would not. See In re Marriage of Peterson (2016). Federal law preempts state law, and federal law provides that social security disability is considered to be separate property.
