Helpful starting points for a conversation about California probate.

Have another question? Ask Ty
What is probate?

Probate is a court process used to settle a person’s estate after death. It can involve identifying estate property, addressing debts, and distributing the remaining property to the people entitled to it.

Does every estate need formal probate?

No. How property is titled, whether it is held in a trust, and the type and value of the assets can affect the process. Some property may qualify for a simpler transfer procedure. Discuss the specific estate with the firm before deciding which path applies.

Is probate needed if there is a will?

A will does not by itself eliminate probate. The assets and how they are owned help determine what process is needed. Have any will or trust available when you speak with the firm.

What does a personal representative do?

A court-appointed personal representative manages the estate during probate. Responsibilities can include gathering and valuing estate property, addressing creditor claims, keeping records, and distributing property as authorized. The particular duties depend on the case.

How long will probate take?

The timing depends on the estate, court scheduling, required notices, and any issues that arise. Ty can discuss the steps involved in your matter. No completion date or outcome is guaranteed.

Can you help outside San Diego County?

Yes. We handle probate filings in all 58 California counties, with filings made in the appropriate county court. Phone and teleconference consultations are available.

What should I have ready for a conversation?

If available, have any will or trust, court notices, a general description of the assets, and your main questions nearby. Ask the office how to securely provide documents. Avoid sending confidential details before the firm confirms how to share them.

Do I need to visit the La Jolla office?

No office visit is required to request a consultation. The firm offers phone and teleconference consultations. Office meetings in La Jolla are available by appointment.
