Trusts & Probate
When a Probate Attorney Is Necessary
Probate is the court's legal process of assessing who is entitled to a deceased person's assets, paying his or her debts, and settling financial affairs.
What is probate?
The probate process is complicated, and a lack of experience can cause unnecessary frustration and delays. The knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced probate attorneys at ArchAngel are honored to guide families through the probate process in the most efficient and seamless manner possible.
Not every estate needs to go through full probate. For example, a decedent's primary residence may qualify for a simplified Petition to Determine Succession to Real Property, and recent changes to California law have made this streamlined option available to more families. We can review your situation and let you know whether it could apply to you.
If you've lost a loved one and are in a position where probate may be necessary, our probate attorneys are here to help. Please call or email today to request a complementary probate consultation.
