FAQs
Q: HOW DOES PROBATE APPLY TO AN UNCONTESTED WILL?
The probate process aims to resolve disputes among the beneficiaries of an estate and ensure the executor or personal representative of the deceased fulfills their duties. However, in some cases, there is no room for debate with an estate and the probate process executes the legal transfer of ownership of assets named in the estate.
Q: IS LEGAL REPRESENTATION NECESSARY DURING PROBATE PROCEEDINGS?
Depending on the nature of the probate proceedings and any legal questions about the estate, it may be wise for the parties involved to consult with Palm Desert probate lawyers during the probate process. This is an especially good idea whenever any party contests the validity or authenticity of a will or any of its contents. Experienced probate attorneys can field questions about the probate process and help interested parties explore their legal options concerning the estate.
Q: WHO HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT AND DUTY TO HANDLE THE PROBATE PROCESS ON BEHALF OF AN ESTATE?
When an individual creates a living trust, writes a last will, or forms an estate, they typically name a personal representative or executor as the one responsible for discharging their wishes for the property and assets they leave behind.
You'll find more information on the FAQ page of our website.
