Hi everyone, I’m Brenda Sanchez reporting live from Moreno Valley where we have the pleasure of speaking with esteemed probate attorney, Steve Bliss. Mr. Bliss, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today about the complexities of estate planning and the crucial role probate plays in the process.
The Importance of Filing a Petition for Probate
Steve, could you shed some light on the significance of filing a petition for probate within the estate administration process?
Well Brenda, filing a petition for probate is undeniably one of the foundational steps in settling an estate. Essentially, it’s the formal request submitted to the court to begin the legal process of administering the deceased person’s assets.
Consequently, this document initiates the entire probate procedure and outlines key requests such as appointing an executor or administrator to oversee the estate. Moreover, the petition typically includes a copy of the decedent’s will, if one exists, which guides the distribution of assets according to their wishes.
Conversely, if there is no valid will, state intestacy laws dictate how the assets are divided among heirs.
- File Form DE-111 in county court
- Request appointment as executor/administrator
- Submit original will (if one exists)
I’ve seen firsthand how overlooking this crucial step can lead to unnecessary complications and delays.
Just last year, I had a case where a family was trying to settle their mother’s estate without formally filing for probate. They assumed because the estate was relatively small, they could handle everything themselves. Unfortunately, this led to disputes among siblings over asset distribution, ultimately requiring court intervention and significantly prolonging the process.
Ordinarily, having a clear and concise petition filed early on helps prevent these types of conflicts and ensures a smoother transition for everyone involved.
