So… What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process used to transfer a deceased person’s assets—such as a Fullerton home, personal property, bank accounts, or vehicles—to their heirs or beneficiaries.

 

As your probate lawyer in Fullerton, we handle all required tasks, including:

​

  • Filing the probate petition

  • Appointment of the executor or administrator

  • Identifying and valuing assets within the estate

  • Managing Fullerton real estate (sale, transfer, mortgage issues)

  • Sending notices to heirs and creditors

  • Handling creditor claims and disputes

  • Filing all required court documents

  • Communicating with beneficiaries

  • Overseeing the final distribution of the estate

 

We manage the entire probate process so you don’t have to worry about the legal details.

Does Probate Involve Going to Court?

Most Fullerton probate cases are handled at the Orange County Superior Court – Probate Division in Santa Ana.

 

In the majority of cases:
You do NOT need to appear in court.
Your attorney attends all hearings for you.

​

You may only need to attend if:

​

  • someone challenges the will

  • there is a dispute among heirs

  • litigation directly involves you

 

If a hearing becomes necessary, your Fullerton probate attorney will represent you and protect your interests.

What If the Fullerton Home Has a Mortgage
or Reverse Mortgage?

This is extremely common in probate cases, and we help families navigate questions such as:​

​

  • Should we keep or sell the Fullerton home?

  • Can we sell the home during probate?

  • Who pays the mortgage during the process?

  • What if there’s a reverse mortgage?

  • How do we transfer the home to beneficiaries?

  • What if the lender is calling or sending notices?

​

Whether the property needs to be transferred or sold, we guide you through all required legal steps, including obtaining court approval when necessary.

What Our Clients Say

Jen R.

Jordan at JLC Legacy Law was amazing to work with. Probate is not an easy thing to go through, but she was prompt and very helpful through everything. I had heard probate takes well over a year to complete, but with Jordan's help, ours was done in 9 months. I highly recommend working with Jordan.
