Q. Is there a way getting the house under someone's name cheaper, or we have no choice but to go with a probate attorney?

February 12, 2024

A: In addition to what has already been stated by a fellow attorney, also please know that if you do end up in Probate proceedings, the attorney's and executor's fees are based on statutory commissions as set by the Probate Code. Your attorney and the Executor will get paid at the end of the probate proceedings once the Estate is in a condition to be distributed and closed.

Hopefully the Spousal Property Petition is successful and you can avoid Probate. Generally speaking, a successful Spousal Property Petition must rebut the presumption of ownership as separate property by presenting certain facts.

Best of luck.

Q. I need to file no asset bankruptcy. Can you help? Thank you.

January 10, 2023

A: It's important to speak to an attorney who can thoroughly review your unique situation and determine your eligibility for a successful bankruptcy discharge.

Feel free to contact me for a complimentary consultation to discuss your options.
