Learn the Process with a Torrance Probate Lawyer
When a will goes to probate court, it will be reviewed for fairness and accuracy before the estate is appropriately distributed. While the process can be lengthy and detailed, it does not guarantee that no errors will be made. If you feel that an estate was improperly handled after going through probate court, there is still time to try to set things right by filing a probate appeal.
As many probate courts adhere to local jurisdictions, the same can be said in regards to the probate appeals process. In order to determine your legal standing and understand all the regulations you must follow, contact a Torrance probate appeals attorney from the Law Offices of James C. Shields today.
Simply disagreeing with a decision made by probate court is not grounds for filing a probate appeal. This means that you cannot try to have it reviewed because you were not rewarded with a piece of the estate that was never meant for you. Rather, you need to be able to prove that a legal error was made by the probate court. Doing so can be difficult without the guidance and legal counsel of a professional probate attorney from our firm.
With a properly filed probate appeal, you can bring aspects of the process into question, including:
When a probate court acts erroneously, the consequences could be devastating to possible inheritors and loved ones. It is important to retain the services of an experienced Torrance probate attorney that can make sense of the procedure and help you file a suitable probate appeal.
