What is the Probate Process?
Probate is the legal process necessary when a California court must oversee the transfer of property from an estate after a person dies. The process will occur when the decedent owns real estate or has property worth more than $100,000.
If you are a personal representative, executor or relative handling the estate of a loved one, it is important that you consult with an attorney to protect yourself against personal liability. With my extensive experience with and years of strategic navigation of the probate and estate administration process, I can avoid potentially significant and costly errors made by less experienced lawyers.
I am experienced with all of the following:
- Protecting an estate against creditor's claims
- Representing the interests of heirs and beneficiaries in probate court
- Representing executors and personal representatives to prevent personal liability in asset distribution
- Dealing with counties, notification, property transfers
- Establishing survivor trusts, family trusts, AB trusts
