Help with California Probate Law

California law includes the Independent Administration of Estates Act, which grants the executor of the estate the power to resolve most probate matters without involving the court. This can both simplify and complicate probate proceedings, as while the executor can act without involving the courts, disputes can arise with beneficiaries and others involved in the estate.

Whether you're an executor or beneficiary, it is important to make sure you get adequate legal guidance to efficiently handle the logistics involved. Our compassionate Los Angeles probate lawyer knows the issue you are facing and can provide you with the necessary service that you require.
