Probate

Probate is a legal process through which assets are passed, typically with at least some court supervision, to a person's heirs. With limited exceptions, Probate is necessary to pass assets which have not otherwise been legally designated to pass to named beneficiaries.

A Probate estate will usually include personal property, such as money in the bank, jewelry or a car. It can also include real property, such as the person's home.

A Will is often used to direct distribution of assets through the Probate process. Where a valid Will exists, the beneficiaries named in the Will are entitled to receive the distributions designated in the Will. Otherwise, the estate will be divided among the person's heirs under California law.

Because the Probate process can be tedious and time-consuming, working with professional assistance is often essential essential.

Trust Administration

Trust administration typically consists of paying estate debts and distributing assets to the trust's beneficiaries. It is generally considered to be less tedious and more efficient than a formal Probate process.

Professional guidance through the process of trust administration will help you avoid pitfalls and ensure that your trust is handled in accordance with California law.
