So… What Is Probate?
Probate is the court process that ensures a deceased person’s assets—such as a residence in Buena Park, vehicles, bank accounts, or personal property—are legally transferred to heirs or beneficiaries.
As your probate lawyer in Buena Park, we help with every required step:
-
Filing the initial probate petition
-
Appointing the executor or administrator
-
Locating, gathering, and valuing assets
-
Managing Buena Park real estate (sale, transfer, or mortgage concerns)
-
Sending legal notices to heirs and creditors
-
Handling creditor claims
-
Managing communication with family members
-
Preparing and filing all court-required documents
-
Distributing assets when probate is complete
You don’t have to handle any part of this alone—our team manages the entire probate process for you.
Does Probate Involve Going to Court?
Most Buena Park probate cases are handled through the Orange County Superior Court – Probate Division in Santa Ana.
The good news:
You typically won’t need to go to court.
Your attorney attends all hearings on your behalf.
You may only need to attend if:
-
someone challenges the will
-
there is a dispute among heirs
-
litigation directly involves you
If that happens, your Buena Park probate attorney will advise you and represent you every step of the way.
What If the Buena Park Property Has a Mortgage
or Reverse Mortgage?
This is one of the most common concerns families have.
We help you navigate questions like:
-
Should we keep or sell the Buena Park home?
-
Can it be sold during probate?
-
What happens if there’s a mortgage or reverse mortgage?
-
Who is responsible for payments during probate?
-
How do we transfer the home to a beneficiary?
-
What if the mortgage company is calling?
No matter the situation, we walk you through your options and help you make the best decision for the estate. If a sale is necessary, we guide you through the legal requirements and coordinate any court approvals.
