What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administered and distributed. This includes verifying the validity of the will, identifying and valuing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. If no will exists, the estate is distributed according to California’s intestacy laws.
Devey Law provides comprehensive probate services to guide executors, administrators, and beneficiaries through every step of the process. Our services include:
Filing the Probate Petition: Assisting with filing the necessary paperwork to open probate with the court.
Asset Identification and Valuation: Locating, inventorying, and appraising the deceased’s assets.
Debt and Tax Resolution: Managing the payment of outstanding debts, taxes, and expenses of the estate.
Court Filings and Deadlines: Ensuring all required documents are filed accurately and on time to avoid delays.
Dispute Resolution: Representing clients in the event of will contests or disputes among beneficiaries.
Distribution of Assets: Facilitating the transfer of assets to beneficiaries in accordance with the will or state law.
