About the California Probate Process

What happens when my loved one passes away?

Probate proceedings involve many facets and all are important to resolving your loved one's estate successfully. When a person passes away, an attorney works through the probate process in an effort to allocate the individual's wealth and property as they specified in their will.

A Los Angeles probate attorney will make plans to distribute the deceased's property, belongings, assets, and other items to the appropriate parties. This involves gathering all belongs in order to distribute them over time. Since California upholds precise laws regarding how probate is accomplished, it is important to work with a firm you can trust.

Understanding the Key Aspects of Probate

The probate process is generally handled in court and can be intimidating when you are without skilled legal representation. Your attorney can act as your advocate, handling the more confusing steps of the process for you.

When there is a will involved, probate cases usually involve an executor who will manage the deceased person's estate as they requested. If there is no will, then an administrator handles the estate. All of your loved one's financial responsibilities, such as taxes and bills, must be taken care of before the estate can be administered.
