Why Clients Hire Us for Probate (Estate Administration)
People come to us when one or more of these apply to their lives. How many can we help you with?
- Reduce Your Stress
Why guess, or hope you are not doing things incorrectly? We know the process, and we often carry the burden, so you do not have to worry throughout the process. - Your Reputation Can Be at Stake
If you were named the executor, you must act in the estate’s and heirs’ best interest. If you fail in your duty, don’t pay taxes when due, or forget to keep heirs informed, you can be liable personally. An attorney ensures you do things properly. - Savings and Speed
Minimizes court supervision of the executor and saves money by reducing or eliminating amounts the deceased owes creditors. Expedites the sale of real and personal property and saves legal fees for the court to confirm the sale. It is not uncommon that the investment in a Probate attorney more than pays for itself, and the estate ends up having more money than it otherwise would have. - When Estate Assets are Complicated
Certain assets such as real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like obtaining appraisals and protecting and insuring the asset. We have handled many of these situations in the past to help maximize what the heirs received. - If You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork
Probate laws, and the forms used, are written in a detailed and hard-to-understand language. Many things in Probate are not intuitive. Also, they must be achieved in a particular order. Failure to properly and timely accomplish tasks could cause you to be liable personally or, at a minimum, cause delays. - To Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes
Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. These issues are often minimized or avoided altogether when a lawyer is involved. - For Protection
As your Attorney, we help protect the executor from personal liability for paying the debts and taxes of the deceased. - Allows You to Focus on Your Family and Job
If you have little free time, getting help from a law firm saves you time.

Probate FAQ
I thought a Will avoided Probate, why do I need to go through Probate?
Unfortunately, wills don’t avoid Probate – wills guarantee Probate. Our team handles Probate almost daily and provides you with a streamlined experience. We guide you every step of the way and make it as easy as possible for you.
My parents lived in California, but I’m out of state, can you still help?
Yes. Many of our clients are in similar situations. Nearly all counties require you to attend Probate in person. Provided you can make one trip to California, we can get it handled. Had it been in a trust, travel could have been avoided altogether. Once Probated, everything we do can be done virtually, over the phone, or through the mail.
My parents lived in California, but I’m out of state, can you still help?
We absolutely can! Many people attempt to do this alone and are quickly confused when trying to interpret the statutes. During our discovery call, we will understand what you have accomplished so that we can build a custom proposal with the steps going forward.
