Who pays for probate expenses?

Probate expenses include court fees, attorney’s fees, and any other costs associated with administering the estate. In some cases, the estate may be able to pay these expenses from its own funds, but in other cases, the beneficiary will be responsible for covering them.

No one likes to think about death, but planning for your estate is an important step that everyone should take. By creating a will or trust, you can ensure that your property is distributed according to your wishes and avoid family disputes over inheritance.

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!!!!!

I had many questions regarding a trust set up by a family member that gave me power of attorney without my knowledge. This family member became incapacitated and I suddenly had a ton on my plate to deal with and no idea where to even start. I contacted the Filippi Law Firm after trying to get help from quite a few other firms and being told they weren’t interested. Well, I finally came to the right place. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, for a reasonable fee, and put my mind at ease.

Next, I will be getting help from them to update all the documents related to my own affairs. I know they will handle this in the same timely and professional manner that they showed in our previous dealings.

If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Give them a call. You won’t regret it.
