Probate and Estate Administration
Whether your family member died with a will (testate) or without one (intestate) probate is necessary to administer the estate. During this process, the executor will collect the assets, pay the debts and distribute the remaining assets of the estate to either the named beneficiaries in the will or according to the laws of intestate succession.
In representing clients, our estate planning attorney ensure all interested parties are notified of the probate hearing according to California probate laws. If anyone contests the will, we examine the claim, making sure the wishes of the decadent are carried out appropriately.
Trust Administration
Our firm has witnessed the trend to preserve and protect assets through irrevocable or revocable trusts in order to avoid the time and hassle of probate. We represent beneficiaries and trustees during the administration of these living trusts. Our role is to help ensure assets are distributed accurately as well as to address any problems resulting when someone wants to contest a trust or questions the good faith of the trustee.
