So… What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process used to transfer a deceased person’s assets — such as a Los Alamitos home, bank accounts, personal belongings, or vehicles — to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.​

​

As your probate lawyer in Los Alamitos, we handle all necessary steps, including:​

​

  • Filing the probate petition

  • Appointment of the executor or administrator

  • Identifying, securing, and valuing estate assets

  • Handling Los Alamitos real estate (sales, transfers, mortgage issues)

  • Providing required notices to heirs and creditors

  • Managing creditor claims and disputes

  • Preparing and submitting all court-required documents

  • Communicating with beneficiaries

  • Completing the final distribution of the estate

 

We take care of everything so you don’t have to navigate the legal process alone.

Does Probate Involve Going to Court?

Most Los Alamitos probate cases are handled through the
Orange County Superior Court – Probate Division in Santa Ana.​

​

In most situations:
You will 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 Los Alamitos probate attorney will represent you and protect your interests at every stage.

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.
