Whether you live in Southern California or out of state, you won’t need to appear in court or come into an office. We make it easy to manage your role from the comfort of your own home—with full attorney support at every step.

What is an Executor's Role in Probate?

As the Executor (also called an Administrator or a Personal Representative), your job is to manage and settle the estate of the person who passed away. This includes:

• Filing the will (if any) and petitioning for probate

• Notifying heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors

• Locating and inventorying assets

• Navigate the Court process and reporting all activity to the Judge

• Handling debts, taxes, and final expenses

• Keeping Heirs or Beneficiaries updated on status

• Distributing property to beneficiaries

• Closing out the estate

While these tasks can seem complex, you don’t have to figure them out alone. Our team will keep you on track with every requirement, deadline, and form—virtually and efficiently

You Don't Need To Go to Court or Visit an Office

✅ Sign documents electronically

✅ Receive step-by-step guidance from anywhere in the U.S.

✅ Avoid courtroom appearances (we appear for you)

✅ Track your case with regular updates via email, text, phone, or video conference

We handle everything from filing the initial petition to obtaining your final order—without you ever needing to step foot in a courthouse or our office.
