Probate Wills in Los Angeles
Los Angeles Probate Lawyers
Probate is the process where an executor files a will with the court and the courts validate it as the deceased’s wishes in accordance with California state law. This occurs after the will’s creator has passed away. Wills become public record when an executor files them and the information is available to anyone who requests it.
The probate process for a will takes place in the county where the will’s creator, the testator, resided at the time of his or her death. The court publishes a notice of the petition for probate in the local newspaper and sends letters to the interested parties. The parties may attend the probate proceedings and raise any questions of dispute to the court.
