Probate

Navigating the legal waters for you

At Pollock Law Firm, we understand how important your family is to you, which is why for each case we take on, we create a custom plan tailored to your needs so you can focus on what matters most. We have the experience and knowledge to help you take the measures to avoid probate, or, if it's already too late, to navigate the legal process.

When a loved one passes away, their estate may have to pass through probate if proper estate planning measures were not prepared. The deceased individual’s assets will be frozen and cannot be transferred to an heir or loved one unless a judge signs off on the transaction in a probate proceeding. Probate is a legal process in which the deceased individual’s debts are handled, their assets are administered, and their estate distributed to their surviving beneficiaries. If the deceased individual has a will only, probate is still necessary and determines when the will is executed. If there is no will available, the estate will be distributed to the deceased individual’s family and next of kin subject to California law.

Probate can often be a confusing and complicated process for family members. Even if there is a will, these are sometimes contested and disputed, requiring even more time in Probate Court.

Pollock Law Firm is available to help you. We’ll guide you through the probate process, assisting you in filing for a personal representative, preparing and filing estate inventories, handling your loved one’s outstanding debts and ensuring your loved one’s assets are distributed according to their will and last wishes or according to California probate law.

If you or your family is facing the depths of a looming probate, contact the Pollock Law Firm and let us help you start the process and effectively and efficiently solve your dilemma.

“After finding out about my father’s death, I just didn’t know where to begin. I was very close to my father. You could say I was “A Daddy’s Girl.” Being so heartbroken, where do I start? I knew I had to deal with legal issues the will the property etc… Having Adam Pollock as my attorney was everything and more than I could ever expect! He was able to help me with the disposition of my Dad’s property & home. He kept my spirits up during this time of sadness. It was less difficult on me by him dealing with all the paperwork and legal issues. I’m so grateful to have had a young/bright attorney like Adam!” - Ali M.
