A California probate court will authenticate your will if you have one, approve your executor, and then supervise the probate as the executor distributes your belongings and property. All your assets will be located, inventoried, and appraised when warranted. Taxes and debts will all be paid, and the remaining assets distributed according to your wishes. Probate can be a lengthy, expensive, public process that can benefit greatly from having help from an experienced probate attorney from the Gullotta Law Group.
