PVP ATTORNEY & SETTLEMENT OFFICER
Keystone’s Managing Partner Shawn Kerendian has recently been re-appointed as a Probate
Volunteer Panel (PVP) Attorney for the Los Angeles Superior Court, a position he has held since
2017. This designation allows Shawn to be appointed by the court as counsel to represent
persons in special proceedings, such as a proposed conservatee – i.e., a person who is currently
the subject of a judicial proceeding to determine whether a conservatorship is appropriate
(typically an older adult with symptoms of
dementia). PVP attorneys may also be appointed as
guardians ad litem, referees, special masters, court
experts or fiduciaries.
Shawn was also recently selected to act as a
settlement officer in the Los Angeles Superior
Court’s Pro Bono Probate Settlement Program. This
Program is intended to provide parties with probate,
trust, estates, guardianship, and conservatorship
litigation matters which are pending before the
Central District Probate court an opportunity to
resolve their cases by an experienced attorney in the
field. Shawn has been successful in settling probate
litigation cases as a settlement officer.
