What is Probate (2025 Update)?
Probate is a court supervised transfer of title of your property to your heirs. Many people mistakenly think that only having a will avoids probate. The opposite is generally true. Having only a will almost guarantees that your assets will have to be probated. In its most basic terms, probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies in order to legally transfer the title in an asset to the beneficiaries designated in a will. California probate law also governs the process for the distribution of property where there has been no will. The law provides for the determination of who qualifies as an heir to the deceased and what portion of the assets he or she is entitled to receive.
