The tasks required to fulfill probate responsibilities vary with the extent and complexity of the estate, as well as from state to state. This book guides the process of probate under California law and includes changes that have occurred recently with the meeting of the state legislature. Easy-to-use, blank tear-out forms make this book a valuable tool for anyone who is placed in the position of probating an estate.Information concerning handling creditor's claims, petitioning for hearings, taking inventory of the estate's assets, selling the estate property and handling of tax issues are all covered in this new text. Of particular interest in this book is information concerning the protection of the deceased's family -- what rights the living have and which laws apply to those rights.
If you have the patience to go through a loved ones mail, keep track of all the phone calls and paper work, this book is for you. Instead of paying an attorney thousands of dollars to do "paperwork" this book will guide you through the tedious probate process. Even if you make a mistake, the court will let you know what was incorrect. (The courts paralegal may even assist you at no charge.) You can then go back to the book and correct the error and resubmit your paperwork. Think about it... you will have to provide an attorney with the loved ones documents and then the attorney gets paid to fill in the blanks. But if YOU file for probate, you can be fully in charge, keep track of information and keep the money the attorney probably has a paralegal prepare. This book is easy to follow and well worth the investment. This book can not be rated high enough.
