Certain estates will need to be settled through a court supervised process known as Probate. These estates involve people who pass away without a living trust and either have a Will ("Testate") or no estate planning documents at all ("Intestate"). In these situations a Probate will most likley need to be opened in order to transfer the decedent's estate to their heirs or beneficiaries.
The common expenses incurred during a Probate are the following:
The Attorney's Fees and Executor's / Administrator's Fees make up the greatest portion of the fees and costs of any Probate matter. The ordinary work, done by the Attorney, that is required to transfer the decedent's Probate Estate to their heirs or beneficiaries is referred to as the "Statutory Attorney Fees". The Executor or Administrator is also entitled to this same fee. As set by the California Probate Code, the Statutory Attorney Fees are based on the gross value of the Probated assets and set the maximum allowable fee an attorney may charge for these ordinary services.
On certain uncontested Probate matters in Los Angeles County this office may offer discounts on the Statutory Attorney Fees for these ordinary services on a case by case basis.
