Settling a loved one's estate involves a court-supervised process with strict paperwork at every step. We prepare the full document sets at your direction — from the Petition for Probate through the final distribution — as well as California's simplified small-estate procedures when the estate qualifies.
Full administration typically runs 6–9+ months under the court's published process, including a mandatory 120-day creditor claim period.
No — the courts publish simplified procedures for estates under current value thresholds, including a small-estate affidavit for personal property. We prepare whichever document set fits the path you choose.
Our document preparation is a flat fee quoted up front. Court filing, publication, and probate referee fees are set separately by the court.
