Probating a will in California can be simple or complex. It is usually simple, but can get complex in several situations:
a. A beneficiary is disabled or on Medi-Cal.
b. There is litigation involved.
c. There are assets which are at risk for foreclosure.
d. There are assets which are with the State of California Controller’s office or have escheated to the state.
e. There are unusual assets like patents and copyrights.
f. Someone has stolen money or other assets from the estate or decedent.
g. A will is contested.
