Laguna Legal offers probate services such as the filing of paperwork and serving of interested parties. We are not probate attorneys in Laguna Beach, this means you will save thousands in lawyer fees. You will need to represent yourself in probate court, which is not difficult when all your documents are in order.
When someone dies, their assets are distributed through a process known as probate. This process often can take years and thousands of dollars in legal fees. At Laguna Legal, we can save you both time and money in handling your Laguna Beach probate process.
The Laguna Beach probate process often takes a whole year to complete. In collaboration with your probate referee, our office will draft and submit the Petition for Probate, get in touch with each heir, organize the required publication, and conclude the procedure by submitting a final accounting to the court. Any real estate can often be sold within 3–4 months of submitting the initial petition.
You can avoid probate in Laguna Beach by setting up a living trust. Laguna Legal can help you prepare and retitle your real estate in the name of your trust to prevent probate. We charge a flat price of $950 for the whole estate plan of a single client. An estate plan’s key legal papers are a revocable living trust, certificates of trust, a pour-over will, durable power of attorney, and a healthcare directive.
If a person passes away testate—with a will—or intestate (without a will), assets can be divided to heirs through a legal process called “Probate.” You must file for probate before the Laguna Beach probate court may decide how to divide your loved one’s assets if they have real estate (regardless of value) or other assets worth more than $166,250 that are not specified in a living trust when they pass away.

Laguna Legal can help you draft a Small Estate Affidavit if necessary, or we can help you draft and submit a full probate.
