Research Study Identifies Common Probate Patterns Among Los Angeles Families
Analysis of 2,300 cases reveals frequent procedural challenges and introduces educational resource for inheritance processes
United States, 21st Aug 2025 – A comprehensive analysis of over 2,300 probate cases in Los Angeles County has identified patterns in how families navigate inheritance proceedings, with research showing that 90% of families encounter at least one procedural challenge during the probate process.
The study, conducted by Joshua Vigo-Fas of Josh V Realty, documented common experiences among families managing inheritance matters and identified three frequently occurring situations that impact probate outcomes.
“The data reveals consistent patterns across many probate cases,” said Vigo-Fas, whose background in psychology provides perspective on family dynamics during inheritance proceedings. “Families often encounter similar challenges, which typically result in additional costs averaging $40,000 beyond expected expenses.”
The three most common situations identified in the study include: property valuation considerations during probate real estate transactions, timing coordination with court procedures, and family communication management during inheritance processes. Each situation can contribute to extended timelines and additional expenses.
The research indicates that many families enter probate proceedings without comprehensive understanding of the process requirements. “Families often approach probate with limited prior experience,” Vigo-Fas explains. “The data shows that procedural unfamiliarity can lead to additional expenses that exceed the cost of professional guidance.”
The study found that out-of-state heirs face additional considerations, with 95% encountering multiple procedural challenges related to managing California probate requirements and property matters from distant locations.
“The research focuses on education and preparation,” notes Vigo-Fas. “Understanding common patterns can help families better prepare for inheritance processes.”
Based on the study findings, Josh V Realty has developed educational materials designed to help Los Angeles families understand probate procedures. The resource includes informational checklists, procedural guidance, and professional resource connections.
“Information and preparation can help families approach probate with greater understanding,” Vigo-Fas states. “Educational resources provide families with context about inheritance processes and available professional support.”
The research reflects Josh V Realty’s ongoing analysis of probate patterns throughout California. The company specializes in probate real estate transactions and provides educational support for families navigating inheritance processes.
The educational materials are designed to complement professional legal and financial guidance that families typically seek during probate proceedings, offering additional context about procedural considerations and available resources.
