What happens after the probate letters are issued?

Our firm will advise on all the details and the in’s and out’s of such process. The executor will first need to determine what are the assets and, using the probate letters, get title to them into his or her name as executor of the estate. The court appoints a “probate referee” to determine the value of non-cash assets, such as real estate.

At the same time, the executor will need to determine to whom the decedent owed money and send a notice of the death to the creditors. If there is no dispute, the executor should pay those bills. We will also determine whether any estate tax is owed.

It is our privilege to guide clients through estate planning decisions

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
