What Happens During Ventura County Probate?

If you’re wondering, “Is there a probate court near Camarillo?” — most estates are handled at Ventura County Superior Court, which serves all of Ventura County, including Camarillo. We handle hearings, filings, and communication with the court so you don’t have to.

A simple outline of the probate process:

Open the Probate Case

We prepare and file the probate petition and request appointment of the executor or administrator. Once approved, you receive letters testamentary or letters of administration.

Inventory and Appraisal of Assets

We help identify assets—homes, accounts, personal property—and coordinate required valuations.

Notify Creditors and Pay Debts/Taxes

Creditors must be notified, and valid claims must be resolved. We help manage this step and ensure the estate pays debts appropriately.

Court Filings and Case Management

We prepare every required filing and status report. Many steps occur behind the scenes, with us appearing on your behalf in Ventura when possible.

Distribute Assets and Close the Estate

Once obligations are satisfied, we help distribute assets according to the will or state intestacy laws, then finalize the estate with the court.
