How Our Team Improves The Probate Process

While effective estate planning can often negate the need for California probate, the location of assets may require probate. The 2021 probate threshold in California $166,250. Any estate with assets worth $166,250 or more must go through probate. Assets that have beneficiaries, are payable on death or are held in a trust are not part of an estate and do not count toward the $166,250 amount. Working with an attorney can provide needed insight and guidance as to whether or not an estate requires probate.

When probate is required, we are prepared to help. We assist with:

  • The submission of the last will and testament to the probate court
  • All required filings and inventories
  • The location, appraisal and sale of property
  • The paying of all taxes, including inheritance taxes, and claims against the estate
  • The collection of life insurance proceeds
  • The distribution of the assets

Attorney Darrell Brooke and the rest of our team can also assist with related matters such as estate disputes, will contests, elder law, tax concerns and guardianships and conservatorships.
