Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: life insurance/ trust

you will need to retain a qualified attorney to assist you with this issue. it is likely that a petition for probate or a petition regarding the trust will need to be filed with the superior court in the county in which your father resided at his death. please contact my office if i can be of any assistance.

Re: life insurance/ trust

I am sorry for your loss. Your case sounds interesting. If you have no clue of the terms of the trust you likely need to do a full probate and get a Court order specifying that those assets are part of the probate estate. I do a substantial amount of this type of work so please call me if you would like to discuss in more detail. -John

Re: life insurance/ trust

Sounds like you will need to get the Probate Court to issue letters testamentary naming you as the executor of the estate. This should resolve the problem, but it can be a bit complicated. You can try ti go at it alone or retain an attorney, such as our firm, that specializes in estate planning.

If you would like to discuss this matter further in a more private forum, please feel free to contact me directly at the email address provided by LawGuru or through our firm�s website located at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com
