Nicole D. Rosser
Shareholder | Estate Planning & Probate Attorney
Nicole Rosser is a shareholder at Rich, Fuidge, Bordsen & Galyean focusing on estate planning, probate, trust administration, real property law, and business litigation. She joined the firm as an associate attorney in 2005 and became a shareholder after years of dedicated service to clients across Yuba and Sutter Counties. Ms. Rosser combines technical estate planning expertise with the kind of patient, personal counseling that estate matters require.
Practice Focus
Ms. Rosser’s estate planning practice helps families across the Yuba-Sutter region structure wills, revocable living trusts, healthcare directives, durable powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents tailored to their needs. She works with families ranging from young couples completing their first estate plans to multi-generational agricultural families needing sophisticated succession planning for farmland and family businesses.
Her probate and trust administration work guides executors and trustees through the legal requirements that follow a death — inventorying assets, paying creditors, preparing accountings, and distributing the estate to beneficiaries according to the will, trust, or California intestacy law. When estates become contested, Ms. Rosser brings her business litigation background to bear on disputes over fiduciary duties, will validity, undue influence, and trust interpretation.
