Probate is a court-supervised legal process used to distribute a deceased person’s assets when there is no trust or when assets were not properly titled in a trust. In California, probate is typically required if the value of the estate exceeds $184,500 and includes assets not held in a trust.
An executor (also known as a personal representative) is responsible for managing the deceased person’s estate—this includes filing court paperwork, notifying heirs and creditors, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets. It’s a big job, and mistakes can lead to delays or legal issues. Our probate attorneys at The Law Offices of C.R. Abrams, P.C. support executors throughout the process to ensure everything is handled correctly and efficiently.
