Dedicated to Preserving Your Family's Future

Oceanside Probate Attorneys

Sound Advice Regarding California Probate Law

Probate is the legal process by which a person's property is distributed after death. It can be a relatively simple procedure or exceedingly complex, depending on the circumstances, the quality of the will and trust documents, and other factors.

At Palmer Zad & Associates, we are experienced in both estate planning and probate matters. After the loss of a family member, we help clients wrap up estates efficiently and arrange for the distribution of estate property through the probate process. Our Oceanside probate lawyers also handle will contests.

Cost-Effective Probate Administration Services

At Palmer Zad & Associates, we have over 60 years of combined experience handling probate and estate planning cases. We work as a team to deliver exceptional service that considers each client’s unique situation.

Our firm represents clients in cases involving:

Probate administration
Probate disputes
Contested wills and trusts
Trust accounting
Other probate code matters

In paying off a decedent's debts and distributing estate property, there can be many pitfalls, particularly regarding real estate. The attorneys at our firm offer advice to executors and trust administrators designed to preserve estate assets and wrap up the estate as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

While the probate documents of most estates — even those of modest size — must be reviewed in probate court, our diligence and attention to detail can help clients avoid legal complications during the final review.

Our Oceanside probate attorneys can also advise clients regarding estate administration involving asset transfers by contract. When an inheritance law problem does arise, we protect our clients' rights through assertive pursuit or defense of probate litigation.
