Probate Services


If your loved one died without a trust or with assets still in their name, we can help you navigate the California probate court. We focus on uncontested probate cases and offer clear support from start to finish. We do not handle contested probates or litigation matters.

We can help you with:

  • Full probate administration (uncontested only)

  • Summary proceedings (like small estate affidavits or spousal property petitions)

  • Heirship determinations and uncontested petitions

  • Probate court filings and notices
