This period of time can be challenging, and we believe you deserve the time you need to grieve peacefully without the hassle of arduous court procedures.
California law requires survivors to file a Will with the Court within 30 days following a death. The probate process might then last from 8 months to several years, depending upon the complexity of the estate and any objections which may be raised. During this time, there will be a number of legal obligations to fulfill, involving forms which must be filed at certain stages in the process. These procedures are in place to ensure that all creditors are paid, and assets are properly distributed to heirs.
Obviously, this can be a long and stressful time for the estate’s heirs, and the process can be further complicated if even one step in the process is not accurately completed during the required time period. Let our experienced team handle the legal aspects of processing the estate, to ensure a timely and uncomplicated resolution.
