Can creditors collect after your death? Must a will be probated? Can I do it with a lawyer?

Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
In California, a will must be probated unless the probatable estate is small enough, under $150,000, to be distributed pursuant to a declaration procedure. The "probatable estate" does not include property held in joint tenancy or which passes to a designated beneficiary (e.g., life insurance) or pursuant to a "pay on death" arrangement with a financial institution. Probate is usually necessary when there is real property standing only in the name of the decedent. If probated, there is a creditor claim procedure which determines which, if any, creditors get paid and how much. Yes, it is common practice to have an attorney represent the personal representative and the estate in a probate case.
