Losing a beloved member of a family is sad news to the family.
Battling for the rights of the estates of the deceased is little complicated, if there is no proper will.
Probate has a bad reputation and is called a lot of things.
However, in many cases it's necessary.
Luckily, with the right attorney involved, handling one's affairs after death can be pretty simple.
At it's essence, probate is the court-administered process of collecting and organizing a deceased person's estate, paying the deceased's bills and then distributing the remaining assets to those entitled to receive those assets.
I lost my dad when I was 14 years old.
Though I was not privy to the legal details I hope that my mom first considered use of a California Probate Code 13650 spousal property petition if there were any assets that she needed to clear title to.
It's a better option than a full probate for most surviving spouses or domestic partners in California.
It can be used for both community and separate property and can be used whether your spouse had a will or not.
As a probate attorney since 1994 I am often surprised to hear of another probate attorney not offering this option to their clients.
The California probate code is long and full of incredible weapons that a knowledgeable and experienced California probate attorney can use.
In addition there is case law which establishes legal principles which can be followed.
The key is knowing which weapon to use at which time!
There is a huge variety of petitions we may file in a California probate Court related to trusts.
The above emphasizes the importance of hiring an Expert Los Angeles Probate Attorney serving all of California.
