Probate Assistance

Provider: LOS ANGELES COUNTY TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR - PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR

This office works in conjunction with the Coroner, other law enforcement agencies and other reporting parties to secure and bring into protective custody the property of people who die in Los Angeles County. Staff conduct investigations to locate possible heirs, assets, creditors and final instructions such as wills, trusts and pre-need arrangements.

This office also acts as administrator for the estates of people who have no next of kin who are able to do so. If no one steps forward, this office petitions the Court for appointment. In smaller cases (under $150,000 in total assets) the Public Administrator is authorized by State Law to administer estates without or with only limited, court supervision. Staff prepare inventories of the estates properties, coordinate and validate creditors claims, correspond with and distribute assets to heirs and coordinate services with involved state and local agencies.
