Written by Probate in California is the court-supervised process for transferring a decedent’s property (estate) to beneficiaries or legal heirs. It involves three key stages: filing a petition to the court, administering the estate, and submitting a final report to close the probate case.
Probate administration involves managing and distributing the deceased’s estate. It encompasses all the steps needed to settle the assets efficiently while meeting legal requirements. This process includes notifying beneficiaries and creditors, inventorying and valuing assets, settling debts and taxes, and distributing the assets.
The way the estate is handled depends on whether the decedent had a will. When there is a valid will, the person designated executor in the document manages the estate. If an individual dies without a will, also known as dying intestate, the court appoints an administrator to fulfill the role.
The executor or administrator is the estate’s personal representative, with legal authority to manage and act on behalf of the deceased’s assets. Their efficiency can significantly impact the timeline of the overall probate process.
