East Bay Probate & Trust Administration is a boutique Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Administration Firm in East Bay, serving Oakland, Alameda County, and the Greater Bay Area. Probate is a process held by probate courts, in which an estate representative takes an inventory of the estate, gathers the assets, notifies parties of interest (including creditors), resolves debts owed by the deceased, calculates and pays taxes owed by the deceased, and distributes the remaining estate assets. Usually, probate involves a will. However, if a person dies without a will, the deceased's estate must go to probate court, and it is called intestate probate. We can handle both types!
