LA Probate law is the law followed in Los Angeles to get a proper solution to the will and property distribution among the inheritors and of the deceased person. The word comes ‘probate” has been derived from a Latin word, which means to examine or prove. Thus, probate law tries to prove, justify or validate the actual rights that an inheritor or beneficiary has over the property, estate and assets of the deceased person. There are two types of probate law existing in modern days. The first one is termed as the formal probate law where the proceedings are made in the court and all the people claiming the property rights are called up together in the court and then the property is distributed. This scenario occurs mainly in cases where the deceased has left a big family or many creditors and beneficiaries behind him. The informal probate law execution is just paperwork and no summon is made by the court. In this scenario, most of the times the inheritor is a single person and hence the complexities related to distribution of assets and property is far more less than the execution of the formal probate law. The last one is the supervised execution of the probate law, in which the court keeps an eye on the proceedings of the probate law and checks its execution; this is a special case where the beneficiary is a minor or suffering from physical or mental disability and hence is unable to claim his/her rights.

There are several steps followed for proper execution of the LA Probate law. The first step is the appointment of the executor. The executor mainly performs the role of a mediator between the court, beneficiaries, creditors and other claimants of the assets and properties of the deceased person. The executor first files a request or petition in the local court of the city where the person was residing at the time of death and has to submit mandatory documents like the death certificate and the original copy of will if it exists. The next step is to notify all the creditors, beneficiaries and claimants about the distribution of the property. The notification is primarily sent through mail, publishing legal notices and releasing advertisement in the papers. After that the creditors are paid off with the necessary amount, the taxes are cleared and then the rest of the property and assets left are distributed amongst the beneficiaries as per the will of the deceased ;person, or if there is no will, then as per the legal rights of the beneficiaries. There is another important clause in this probate law, that is, the probate and non-probate assets. The probate assets refer to the assets and property that can be distributed as per the will of the deceased person or as per the inheritance law of the state. This type of assets is mainly personal property or personal money or personal bank accounts. Non-probate assets refer to the assets and property that need to be distributed o the designated beneficiaries. You cannot claim the property or assets under the authority of the existing will or under the authority of inheritance law. Designated beneficiaries are the people who are most of the times, the joint owners of any company or the property is owned by a trust nominated by the deceased.
