How long does a Probate take?

A probate takes at least six to seven months to get the assets to the beneficiaries. Typically we have to wait a month from the filing of the petition until the executor is appointed by the judge and the letters are issued. We then wait the four months for the creditors to make a claim.

Finally there is a month’s notice of the final petition to the court asking for authorization to terminate the probate and distribute out the remaining estate to the beneficiaries.

Antonio is great. I work in a related industry, but my wife does not. He sat down with us and helped to get our estate in order by walking us through the trust process. My wife was very happy we took the time to protect our family and to get this crucial step in life accomplished. Thanks again!

I have just completed my trust work with Mr. Staker and I could not. be happier. I was referred to him by a prominent San Fernando Vally commercial realtor so I had high hopes when I met with him and I was not disappointed. Now I am insisting that my children go to him to make certain that their trusts are in order. Joan Riley
