Helping People Cope with the Current Death of a Family Member

Probate and settling a deceased person's estate involves the unpleasant task of distributing the decedent's property and carrying out his or her wishes. In some cases a person dies leaving a will or trust which provides a detailed plan of what needs to be done. In other cases the decedent left no indication of their wishes. In either case, the Southern California law firm of Fransen & Molinaro can help settle the estate of the deceased. Our lawyers will help draft all the necessary documents, deal with creditors, distribute personal possessions and real estate, and help you carry out the last wishes of your deceased family member.
