Wondering what you should do with an aging family member’s estate after they die?
The best way to receive guidance on your specific legal issue is to schedule a meeting with one of our experienced attorneys located in Southern California or Arizona.
Consumer Protection: A death in the family is a difficult time which can bring unforeseen complications, interruption of daily life, and strain on relationships if no proper estate planning was done. With or without a will, a dispute over inheritance, medical debt, or unclear responsibilities of an executor can lead to California Probate Court.
California Probate Court Process
The California probate court process can be overwhelming and lengthy without proper guidance from an estate and trust attorney who specializes in probate law. Outside of sending out formal notices, organizing assets, bills and real estate, multiple documents must be correctly filed with probate court to adhere to state codes.
In some cases, litigation may arise from disputes within a family after a loved one dies. In the case of will contests, the removal or appointment of executors, and/or the distribution of the probate estate, it would be wise to hire a probate attorney to help you file a lawsuit.
