Probate

Trusted. Diligent. Compassionate.

If you are navigating the probate world, I am here to be your guide. You can trust me to take this complicated process and make it easy for you. My probate philosophy is to be thorough, efficient, and to get through the process as swiftly as possible.

Probate is the court process in which we distribute the deceased person’s estate assets.

Whether we are dealing with real property like a house or condo, vehicles, bank accounts, jewelry, art, collectables, or other assets, I can help you navigate this process with ease.

I have a strategy session with each client to determine if probate is necessary, and what kind of process you may be facing. Client education is at the forefront of my mission, so that you are not only sure that you are following the correct procedure, but that you know what is coming and how we will handle it…together.

What does probate cost?

The attorney fees for probate are set by California’s legislature (Probate Code Section 10800). Every attorney has to follow this calculation, so regardless of which firm you choose, the cost will be the same.

Client Reviews:

 

“Mrs. Rocha just completed preparing a Trust for us including all necessary documents needed to update property deeds. The entire process was quick and painless. We appreciate Mrs. Rocha's thoroughness and knowledge on the subject. Her quarterly Instagram/Facebook webinars and website blogs are very informative. What really prompted us to complete a trust was Mrs. Rocha's explanation of thousands of dollars in cost savings if you have a trust versus your family having to incur probate fees.”
