California law may require a probate whenever someone dies with only a will or without a properly drafted living trust. Probate is a complex court process that is usually handled by an attorney. Our office has extensive experience conducting probates. Should a probate be needed in your case, and assuming we are a good fit for each other, we would love to help you get through the process as quickly as possible.
We know from our own experience that it is often very difficult to lose a loved one. The last thing anyone wants to endure at that time is 12 to 16 months or more in probate court. But before final distributions can be made from a probatable estate, the executor must file appropriate petitions, perserve assets, publish notices, communicate with heirs, conduct appraisals, provide for taxes, interact with financial institutions, and sometimes make personal appearances in court. In all of this, the executor must satisfy the complex requirements of California law and meet all applicable deadlines.
That's where we come in. Executors who hire us are able to relax, knowing that we have everything covered. They experience meaningful peace of mind at a very challenging time.
We serve probate clients in Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, Yolo and Amador Counties. That means, among other things, that we cover:
Auburn Granite Bay
Carmichael Lincoln
Citrus Heights Orangevale
Davis Roseville
El Dorado Hills West Sacramento
Elk Grove Sacramento
Fair Oaks Woodland
Folsom
Whenever we take a probate case, we do not receive payment for our services until the process is complete, and the deceased person's estate bears the cost.
