James Bush

Jim Bush joined Keystone Law Group, P.C., as a partner in 2021. After graduating law school in 1981 and serving a one-year clerkship with a Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, he became a litigator in private practice, first in Arizona and, since 1998, in California, based in North San Diego County but with matters throughout the state. Originally starting as a commercial litigator, Mr. Bush has evolved his practice over the last 20 years to focus on the litigation of trusts, estates, and probate matters, from consulting about the initial dispute through trial and appeal, when necessary. Matters on which he has worked include various due process matters; powers of attorney and powers of appointment issues; challenges to trusts and wills based upon claims of undue influence, fraud, lack of capacity, mistake, and due execution; claims of breach of fiduciary duty and/or requests to change a trustee or personal representative; demands for accountings, requests to approve accountings, and objections to accountings; other matters of trust or estate administration; conservatorship issues; requests to modify estate planning documents; distributions where there is no will or trust; and more. In addition to serving as an outside speaker on trusts and estates matters, Mr. Bush is chair of Keystone Law Group's Professional Development Committee.
