LA Probate Law – Don’t let your Relations Turn Bitter for Money

 

Matters often get worse when money and death are involved together. We love our family, our brothers and sisters; but it is really tough for us to adjust to the fact that our brothers and sisters have deceived us of the property rights of the assets and property that our parents or forefathers have left behind us. You have a big family or a small, you belong to an affluent society or lead a middle class life, you have a family business or your whole family has always been in the service industry, whatever family you may belong to, the fact remains the same; there are clashes regarding property and asset division between relatives and beneficiaries. This clash is not welcomed by any one of us but all of us in some part of our lives have experienced the same, may be in our own lives or may have witnessed our friends or elders getting involved in this type of clash. Fight related to sharing of property is never a right thing to do when you have just lost someone very special in your life. If you are in Los Angeles and have such a potential crisis coming in your way, just try out the LA Probate law.

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.

LA Probate law is a must if you want to sell any property of the deceased person in Los Angeles. It ensures that there is equality in the state and mutual trust and understanding remains intact. When a person dies in the family, you need much more support and assistance of the other family members to come out of the grief. In such a tender situation, it is never acceptable that you dispute over such matters related to money and property. Thus, if you are seriously trying to settle such issues in your family with peace, just consult any lawyer dealing with probate law and he will surely be very beneficial to your family in restoring the peace and union among the family members. This law even keeps you the peace of mind that after you, your children and successors will stay in harmony and they will never have to dispute while getting the share of your property.

We need to update our Living Trust and attended Schomer Law Group’s seminar. Afterwards we made an appointment and were impressed by the attention Scott Schomer and Liran Aliav gave to our case answering all questions and making suggestions how to minimize the estate tax. All the office staff is very friendly and we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.

We put off getting a trust for years. After attending a seminar with Scott Schomer we realized that the time had come to get a trust. We were given very good reasons for why we should get a trust. No pressure, just the plain facts. We are very relieved and happy to finally get our trust. Scott and Cesar were very knowledgeable, helpful and listened to our ideas of what we had to say. Any questions that we have now and in the future they are available to assist us to solve them. I recommend the Schomer Law Group and I wish we knew about them years ago.

When you’re presented with an invitation to attend in a mailer, you may have reservations, this was a truly gift!! My wife and I were educated and guided through the process of creating a family trust.
Both of our parents had attorney’s that “worked” with wills/trusts, but came up short. Fortunately, the Schomer Law Group was there! This is a group of attorney’s that only specialize in estate planning, law, and financial advice, so you know you’re getting expert and personalized advice. This is the best money we’ve ever spent!! Thank you!

We knew we had to update our 10 year old ( 20 page ) trust. After several detailed meetings, Liran and Cesar produced a large ( 300 pages + ) highly detailed trust document that we have used to make sure our family estate is well managed and clearly understood.
They were all very helpful in answering myriad questions and explaining all the various options…

We would strongly recommend the Schomer Law Group to anyone with an estate of even modest means, to assure proper planning…

We had contemplated updating our will and starting a trust for a number of years. After attending a talk by Scott Schomer we realized we were long overdue and the potential downside of not having our affairs in order was significant. Scott and his excellent team made the process simple and seamless. They were great listeners, addressed all our concerns and even pulled and processed all the paperwork from our financial institutions. If you are looking for assistance with estate planning, wills and trusts, we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.
