What Is Probate?
In California, probate is required if an individual passes away without a will or any other estate planning documents.
Probate is also necessary if the deceased individual drafted a will but didn’t include any trust administration instructions for their assets and property. Probate is also necessary when the heirs of an estate disagree or contest the decedent’s estate documents.
When an estate goes to probate, the court will do the following:
- Authenticate the last will and testament
- Appoint an executor or administrator to settle the estate.
- Authenticate the last will and testament
The executor of the estate is responsible for the following during the probate process:
- Locating the assets of the deceased individual
- Notifying creditors of the death and then paying any debts
- Preparing and filing the deceased individual’s final tax returns
- Assisting with distributing the estate
