California Probate Attorney & Probate Administration
Most people fail to plan for events that can dramatically affect a family’s dynamic. California Probate Courts are filled with cases of those who either left a Will, thinking that everything would be taken care of efficiently and quickly, or left no estate plan at all.
These types of things happen to most of us. Everything will eventually work out. If you are involved with a death of a family member and there was either a will or no will, my office can help with the administration of the estate through a court ordered Administrator. My Office prides itself on helping aggrieved families to close out an estate quickly as possible. There are always human factors which contribute to the length of the probate process, but my law office will help you through the process!
Even with a Family Trust in place, a lot of times it is difficult for a Successor Trustee to administer the estate of a loved one. My Law Office would help with, among other things, ascertaining the decedents’ personal information such as legal name, birth date, place of birth, date and place of marriage and social security number(s).
In addition, there are a list of other items that need to be taken care of with Trust Administration. Transfer of real estate and personal property to beneficiaries can become problematic.
If you are having trouble with Trust Administration, my Law Office would be happy to help.
To give a person an idea as to how much it could cost, refer to Probate Code section 10810. The fees are generally statutory.
