Probate: What Is It? How Can It Be Simplified?
Probate is a court proceeding in which an appointed representative of an estate is given authority to gather the assets of the decedent, pay their bills, and distribute what remains to beneficiaries or heirs. A court must approve of all actions taken by that representative. Court proceedings typically take from six months to two years to be closed.
Probate can be a very difficult process to complete on your own. Attorney Duane P. Booth and our firm can handle all the probate paperwork for you, as well as negotiate settlements between disagreeing family members. We also have years of experience of extracting the true meanings and intentions from poorly worded wills and trusts.
We also capably assist clients in guardianship and conservatorship matters.
Contact us to schedule an appointment for a free consultation with an experienced attorney if you face probate, or have concerns about a will or trust. We have offices in San Bernardino and La Verne. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please ask about payment plans. Call toll free at 866-776-7608, or in San Bernardino call 909-963-1323. Se habla español.
