Probate Attorney Serving Fremont, CA

Fremont families face some of the highest-value probate estates in Alameda County — a modest-looking home in Mission San Jose or Ardenwood can put an estate well past every simplified threshold.

Probate from Fremont, without the driving

Fremont is in Alameda County, so probate is filed at the Berkeley Courthouse — more than 30 miles away. Practically, that means your attorney's proximity to the court matters more than their proximity to you. Our Berkeley office sits two blocks from the probate clerk; we make every filing and appearance while you handle life in Fremont. When you do want to meet in person, choose the Berkeley office or our Dublin headquarters — both under 40 minutes away — or simply meet by video.

What we handle for Fremont families

Full probate of homes and accounts, with statutory fees calculated in advance; spousal property petitions — surviving spouses can often skip probate entirely; Heggstad petitions for assets left out of living trusts (common after refinances); and out-of-state executors — Fremont estates frequently have heirs across the country and overseas, and we run the entire case remotely.

Why Fremont families choose us

Positioned at the courthouse, not just near you: two blocks from where every Alameda County probate is filed. A remote-first process that respects Fremont commutes: e-signatures, video meetings, phone updates. Transparent fees: a free Probate Calculator and flat-fee quotes for simplified petitions.

Will anyone have to drive to Berkeley for hearings?

Almost never. We appear for you; most uncontested cases finish without the family attending court.

Our parents' Fremont home is worth $1.4 million. What will probate cost?

Multiple siblings in different states — is that a problem?

It's our specialty. Notice, waivers, and distributions across state lines are routine in our practice.
