The death of a friend or family member can be an emotional and destabilizing time.
In addition to the emotional toll, there are many legal and financial issues that need to be addressed in a timely manner.
The process of complying with legal deadlines, gathering the loved one's assets, and distributing them pursuant to the terms of their trust is called Trust Administration.
Although many Trust Administrations can be completed without court supervision, California Law imposes heightened legal duties, responsibilities, and duties on Trustees.

The primary goal of most proactive estate planning is to avoid time-consuming and costly Probate Court Proceedings.
However, when Probate Court is unavoidable, it is important to retain a law firm that understands the Probate Court's complex procedures and distinctive deadlines.
Probating a Will: Unlike a trust, California Law requires that distribution of assets pursuant to a will take place under the supervision of the Probate Court.
This can be a lengthy process which involves filing legal documents and appearing in court to discuss/defend your position.
