Frequently Asked Questions

How will creditors be handled?

One of the questions about probate that you may have is figuring out how to deal with outstanding debts and financial obligations of the deceased. Estate credits are generally legally entitled to being reimbursed by the estate’s proceeds.

Your attorney should be able to give you a strong picture of what creditors need to be paid and when. Your probate attorney should also be able to put together a plan for paying creditors before the estate is closed.

Be sure to go over this with your probate lawyer to avoid any future liability. Make sure you have a lawyer who is experienced and confident in handling creditors as well to avoid future liability.

Coming to the Rocklin area from Florida, I needed to find an attorney I felt comfortable working with to make sure all my paperwork was acceptable to CA. The Fillippi Law firm fit that need. Would not hesitate to recommend them. I felt comfortable asking questions and was given all information explaining the process of finalizing the work, including all costs. Made me feel very welcomed!!!!!
