Correa Law Firm, APC

We focus on estate planning, probate administration, and trademark registration. When a property owner in California dies, many assets that aren't held in trust must be managed and divided under the supervision of a court, during the probate process. If the decedent did not leave a will, California state law will govern the distribution and administration. The probate process results in delays and might consume a lot of resources. It’s best to avoid probate if possible. Probate typically takes one year to eighteen months and might take numerous years to complete. One way to avoid probate is to establish a trust. With a trust, assets that are administered by the trust will be governed and distributed according to the trust, and will avoid the probate process.
