If there’s no will written by the deceased or the executor name isn’t available, then generally a family member requests the court to be designated as the “administrator” of the property.
Probate in San Bernardino
In San Bernardino, when an individual die and leaves behind personal assets and property, the decedent's estate is distributed in three different ways:
- A small estate
- An independent probate case
- A court-supervised probate case.
A property with a will and a designated administrator proceeds as an independent probate case.
A property without any will or a nominated executor often proceeds as a court-supervised probate case.
This procedure needs several months to complete including some hurdle process that demands an enormous amount of time & efforts the inclusion of distribution of assets and notification of beneficiaries. Losing a closed one is a sad and tough time for family and friends. So, it is always advisable to hire a reliable Probate Attorney who can handle the whole process.
