At Litherland, Kennedy & Associates, APC, Attorneys at Law, our California probate lawyer can help you understand what to expect from the probate process and guide your family through the California probate court. Probate is a court-supervised process to determine if a will was validly executed and facilitates the transference of some assets. The probate process is complex and often raises questions from families about its purposes, procedures, and costs. You are impacted by the probate process in multiple ways, depending on whether you are the executor of the will, an interested party contesting the will, or an heir receiving an inheritance. There are times where the issues are not as transparent and may result in confusion. You may struggle to provide answers to your probate questions due to the complexity of the process. This is a common problem for many grieving families that have lost a loved one to death. The probate process in California is mainly used to determine ownership of assets left behind by the decedents who have no way of transferring their property after death. The property includes personal items like bank accounts, cars, businesses, and homes that are all subject to probate when someone dies. However, there are some assets with automatic ownership that can avoid probate settlements. Our Probate Calculator can estimate probate costs for estates that exceed the probate threshold but are less than $10,000,000.
