What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process that regulates the transfer of assets to heirs after a person passes away.
In California, Trusts will avoid Probate.
Probate can occur if a person has a Will or does not have a Will (Intestate).

The Probate property needs to be identified, inventoried and appraised.
Debts & taxes will also need to be assessed.
We can help heirs no matter where they live, if a deceased family member was a resident of Southern CA at the time of death or owned real estate in Southern CA.

California Probate Facts

If a person's assets do not total more than $150,000, then the estate may not need to go through the standard Probate process.
If the decedent has a Will, then the Probate Lawyer will determine whether it is valid and is an honest statement about how the assets should be distributed after death.
If there is no Will (also known as Intestate) or Trust, then the closest relative(s) will receive the assets. The Attorney will speak with the closest relative(s) about the decedent's property.
We can represent the people who receive the assets. We can also represent the person who is named in the Will to Probate the estate, or a close family member who petitions the court to be in charge of the process.
A “beneficiary” is a person who is named in a Will to receive the assets.
An “heir” is a person who receives assets when there is no Will.
An “administrator of estate” is a person who petitions the Probate court to be in charge of the process.
An “executor” is a person who is named in the Will to be in charge of the Probate process.
