Understanding the Probate Process in CA

In California, the probate process is often required after someone dies, assuming there is no estate plan in place. Probate may also not be required for certain assets that are attached to a specific beneficiary. For example, if your loved one named you as a beneficiary for their life insurance policy, those benefits would automatically transfer to you. 

However, many other assets require the probate process, even if your loved one has a will. In California, a will must be filed in the county where the deceased individual lived. It will be used to ensure that person’s wishes are followed and their assets are properly distributed. If anyone chooses to dispute the will, this will prolong the process.

Our Burbank probate lawyers can advise you on how to avoid the probate process, if possible. If it is required for your case, you can also rely on us to provide the exceptional legal advice you need to get through it efficiently and smoothly.
