Probate and Trust Administration

Transferring Estate Assets in Monterey, California

After a family member dies, if the decedent had a will there is a probate action in a California court. If the decedent had a trust, there is a trust administration. In both cases, these are required to pass property down from the elder generation to the next generation. 

Probate requires a minimum of six months in court, so that creditors and other issues have an opportunity to be heard. Many families prefer to avoid probate, due to the time and expense incurred, so they have Ms. Silver design a trust for the family. Typically a trust can be transferred with less time and expense since there is no court involvement.
