Probate Attorney

Confidence: high

When a parent passes away without a will in place, the state has rules about how their property and assets get distributed. This process is called probate, and it typically involves going through the court system. A probate attorney can help guide your family through the legal steps and make sure everything is handled correctly.

Possible next steps

  • Gather any documents related to your parent's assets (bank accounts, property deeds, insurance policies)
  • Make a list of your parent's debts and obligations
  • Schedule a free consultation with a probate attorney in Sonoma County to discuss your family's specific situation
  • Ask the attorney about whether probate is necessary for your parent's estate

A licensed attorney can confirm your options. Legal Navigator does not provide legal advice.
