13 probate attorneys serve San Diego. They take estates through administration — proving the will, appointing an executor, inventorying assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing what remains — and litigate will contests and claims against executors.
Ask how the fee is calculated before you engage anyone. Percentage-of-estate fees, hourly billing and flat fees produce very different totals on a mid-sized estate.
If you are serving as executor, get advice before distributing anything. The duties are personal and so is the exposure.
