Probate Administration Lawyer in California
Hedtke Law Offices takes the time to educate our clients on the advantages and options available with Probate, Probate Avoidance, Estate & Probate Administration, and the Estate Planning process.
What is Probate?
Probate is a legal process that occurs after someone dies. It includes validating a will in court, identifying / inventorying / appraising the deceased person's property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property as the will or law directs.
Probate Avoidance
Generally, access to assets during the pendency of probate is substantially restricted, and all distributions require court approval. Conversely, successor trustees in a revocable trust have access to assets immediately upon the death of the decedent and can manage the assets without the necessity of court supervision. 3. Private Matter Most people do not realize that a probate proceeding is no different than any other civil proceeding in a court of law. At any time, anyone can request the court clerk to retrieve the probate file and inspect its contents. Documents included in the file are the will, a petition for probate listing all of the decedent's heirs to the second degree, a complete inventory of all of the decedent's assets, and documents bringing to the court's attention any other matters that require court attention. Generally, clients prefer to use revocable living trusts to keep their affairs private.
