Throughout Northern CA, we have helped hundreds of clients navigate the complexities of estate planning, probate, special needs planning, and more.
Wills
Probate is the court-supervised legal process of validating a deceased person’s will and gives effect to the terms it lays out according to the decedent’s wishes. The word “probate†comes from the same Latin root as “prove†and “proof,†and indeed, entering a will into probate “proves†that it is the decedent’s valid and enforceable last will and testament. California law can also refer to the decedent as the testator in this case.
