Probate petitions most often arise when someone passes away and their loved ones discover that the decedent’s home or other assets cannot be transferred without a court order. With recent technological advances in California’s court system, we are now able to handle probate petitions statewide—no matter where in California the property is located.
Our primary goal is always to help clients avoid probate, which can be easily achieved through proper trust planning. Unfortunately, probate becomes necessary more often than it should—typically when property was never transferred into the trust, or was removed from the trust during a refinance and not put back. These missteps are common when the trust wasn’t funded by an attorney.
We help clients fix these issues when they arise—and more importantly, we help prevent them from happening in the first place.
