What Is Probate?

Probate is the court-supervised procedure for validating a will, identifying and valuing assets, paying outstanding debts, and distributing property to beneficiaries. In cases where no will exists, probate ensures the estate is settled according to California’s intestate succession laws.

In Sacramento, probate often involves:

• Filing the petition to open probate
• Proving the validity of the will
• Notifying heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors
• Inventorying and appraising estate assets
• Paying taxes and outstanding debts
• Distributing remaining property to beneficiaries
• Closing the estate with court approval

Because probate involves strict legal deadlines and procedural requirements, working with a knowledgeable probate attorney can help prevent delays, disputes, and costly mistakes.

When is Probate Required?

Probate is generally necessary when the value of the estate exceeds California’s small estate threshold or when disputes arise regarding the will or rightful heirs. Some assets, such as those held in a trust, jointly owned property, or life insurance proceeds with named beneficiaries, can bypass probate. Our attorneys can help you determine which parts of the estate are subject to court oversight and which can be transferred directly to beneficiaries.
