In this video, Attorney Justin M. Kennedy discusses the death probate. In California, if a decedent passes away with more than $166,250* in assets in their name (not held in Trust), then their assets may be subject to the death probate.

In California, a probate attorney is paid a statutory amount which is the same whether you hire an experienced probate attorney, or one who is inexperienced. When you are looking for a probate attorney, you should focus your search on finding an attorney who is knowledgeable of the probate process and has the experience to guide you through the process correctly. To that end, the State of California’s Board of Legal Specialization has recognized attorney Justin M. Kennedy as a Certified Specialist in probate law.
