What is a Special Administration in a Probate?
Hi I'm Elizabeth Talbot and I'm a paralegal and a estate plan coordinator with the Talbot law group in Walnut Creek California. we handle probate matters within Contra Costa County and Alameda County and generally we specialize in complex and litigated probate matters. often the people in these probates are the beneficiaries and the heirs or the person appointed to be the executor in a will. perhaps will need to begin the probate much sooner than the court allows for. so generally when you file a court petition for probate the hearing is going to be set about eight weeks out, which means you're going to have to wait two months before you can actually start to administer the probate and manage the estate of the person who has passed away. so that's where the special administration comes in....

What Are Letters of Administration in a California Probate?
There are many principles involved in the Probate Law. This is done so that in a due course of time, this particular property can be completely used and distributed without any problems whatsoever. In the process of legal proceedings, there are many different technical aspects that are confined within the law of probate. First of all, the creditors must always be notified and a complete publishing of all legal notices must take place. This is basically done so that the people involved with the property of a deceased person can be immediately informed before the probate law comes into effect. Since the people executing the will may not be properly educated about the probate law, it is suggested that they should be properly guided. This guidance must be provided in the ways of distributing ...

Probate Confers Authority On An Executor
Welcome to the Frank Bruno Law Channel!
Probate Confers Authority on an Executor: Understanding the Probate Process and Executor's Role
When a person passes away, probate is the legal process that verifies a will and confers authority on an executor to manage the deceased's estate. But what exactly is probate? In real estate, probate involves transferring ownership of property according to the will or state law if no will exists. The probate of a will is crucial in ensuring the estate is settled properly, including handling debts, distributing assets, and finalizing real estate transactions.
How to Probate an Estate: To begin the probate process, the executor must file the necessary documents in probate court. This can be done with or without a lawyer, though it can be complex to probate...

Hi I'm Elizabeth Talbot and I'm a paralegal and a estate plan coordinator with the Talbot law group in Walnut Creek California. we handle probate matters within Contra Costa County and Alameda County and generally we specialize in complex and litigated probate matters. often the people in these probates are the beneficiaries and the heirs or the person appointed to be the executor in a will. perhaps will need to begin the probate much sooner than the court allows for. so generally when you file a court petition for probate the hearing is going to be set about eight weeks out, which means you're going to have to wait two months before you can actually start to administer the probate and manage the estate of the person who has passed away. so that's where the special administration comes in. a special administration allows you to go into court within business days and the court will hear your case and appoint an administrator within that time. The administrator is also sometimes called an executor if it's a will. this person will be called the special administrator and is just set up to act on a temporary basis for whatever needs to be done. so what's an example of why you might need to go into court for a special administration? One example would be the administrator needs to start dealing with the assets of the estate on an immediate basis and is not able to wait. Another example is where the decedent (person who died) was in the middle of selling their house when they passed away, so now they've died and they cannot sign the final contract to sell their house. the house now needs to go to probate before the sale can be completed. so now the administrator of the estate or person who's going to be in charge of the estate needs to finalize that sale. the people on the other side, the buyers, are not going to want to wait two months for an administrator to be appointed so they would go into court for a special administration to give them the power to finalize the sale on the house. Another issue we've come across is where the house has very serious damage and issues with it. there was one person's house who unfortunately was a bit of a biohazard for example and this was affecting the neighbors around it. So right away the children of the person who died needed to get in and get probate started so that they could begin managing the cleanup of this house which they had not realized was in such a terrible condition. so that would be another reason that a special administration would be necessary. other reasons might include debts that need to be paid immediately or really any kind of thing that would necessitate getting control over the assets in an estate before that two-month period where you're waiting to hear be heard by the court. so those are the basics about a special administration. another reason might be if people are fighting and you need someone to manage the estate because the people who were managing the estate were not doing a good job. so that might be another reason why you would appoint a special administrator. if you'd like any more information on probate and special administration within Contra Costa or Alameda County please call our law firm. thank you

There are many principles involved in the Probate Law. This is done so that in a due course of time, this particular property can be completely used and distributed without any problems whatsoever. In the process of legal proceedings, there are many different technical aspects that are confined within the law of probate. First of all, the creditors must always be notified and a complete publishing of all legal notices must take place. This is basically done so that the people involved with the property of a deceased person can be immediately informed before the probate law comes into effect. Since the people executing the will may not be properly educated about the probate law, it is suggested that they should be properly guided. This guidance must be provided in the ways of distributing the property as well as taking the rights of the creditors properly into account.
There is also a filing of a petition for the appointing of a personal representative. The letters of administration must also be obtained. The involvement of the time factors plays a very important role in the filing and also objections against the claims of the estate. In some cases, it is seen that there are certain lawsuits that are based on the death of the individual. Furthermore, there may also be pending suits that are still continuing. There are completely separate ways that are required in all the contentious probate cases. Real estates and many other different types of properties have a necessity to be sold. This is done mainly for the correct and the proper distribution of all the assets who are pursuing the will. They may also be done simply for the purposes of paying the various debts. There are many sorts of taxes that need to consider. These taxes are the estate taxes, the taxes of inheritance and also gift taxes. They are mainly brought into consideration if the certain thresholds are completely exceeded by the estate. There are also taxes that are deducted from the various assets that are in the estate. These kinds of taxes mainly include the income tax, the tax on the property plus the costs of the administration. Homestead property is a kind of property that completely follows its own set of rules. This is usually seen in many places in the United States as in LA. It must always be kept in mind that a probated will immediately become a legal document. This particular will can be enforced by the executor if it is deemed necessary.

There's a lot of talk out there about avoiding probate, but many people really don't understand the steps that are involved in the probate process. So I thought I'd share the actual steps that me and a family are taking to complete an actual probate. Here are the steps:
(1) Review the will;
(2) Review the assets and debts;
(3) Prepare pleadings to have will probated and executor confirmed;
(4) Communicate relevant facts with all the heirs;
(5) File initial pleadings at courthouse;
(6) Wait for judge to sign initial order that will is valid and executor is confirmed;
(7) Get several certified copies of "Letters of Independent Executorship" from clerk of court;
(8) Obtain Tax ID Number from IRS;
(9) Executor opens estate accounts at investment firms where brokerage accounts are frozen;
(10) Executor moves assets from frozen accounts in deceased's name to estate accounts;
(11) Executor pays out specific bequests of money to heirs;
(12) Prepare inventory of assets and debts pursuant to court procedural rules;
(13) Prepare final court pleadings and submit to heirs for Verification;
(14) Final court order signed by judge ordering assets disbursed from estate to heirs;
(15) Transfer assets from estate accounts into heirs' newly formed accouts;
(16) Review capital gains tax and income tax consequences with all heirs;
(17) Executor sees that final income tax return is prepared.

Probate Confers Authority on an Executor: Understanding the Probate Process and Executor's Role
When a person passes away, probate is the legal process that verifies a will and confers authority on an executor to manage the deceased's estate. But what exactly is probate? In real estate, probate involves transferring ownership of property according to the will or state law if no will exists. The probate of a will is crucial in ensuring the estate is settled properly, including handling debts, distributing assets, and finalizing real estate transactions.
How to Probate an Estate: To begin the probate process, the executor must file the necessary documents in probate court. This can be done with or without a lawyer, though it can be complex to probate a will without legal guidance. A probate lawyer can assist in navigating the probate court system, making the process smoother and faster. However, it is possible to go through probate without a lawyer, though it requires knowledge of probate laws and the estate administration process.
Avoiding Probate: Some individuals prefer to avoid probate to save time and reduce court involvement. This can be done through estate planning strategies like creating living trusts, joint ownership, or beneficiary designations.
Estate Planning in NYC: In places like New York City, probate laws can be intricate, making it essential to understand how probate confers authority on an executor. For more information, seek advice from probate lawyers like Frank Bruno or others experienced in real estate and probate law.
