California Probate Analysis Reveals Average Additional Costs of $40000 for Families
Los Angeles probate specialist releases research findings and introduces educational resource for inheritance processes
United States, 21st Aug 2025 – Research conducted by probate real estate specialist Joshua Vigo-Fas has documented that California families navigating probate encounter average additional costs of $40,000 beyond expected fees during inheritance proceedings.
Vigo-Fas, founder of Josh V Realty, analyzed probate cases across California and identified common factors that contribute to unexpected expenses during the inheritance process. The research highlights various procedural and timing considerations that impact overall probate costs.
“The research shows that families often encounter expenses they hadn’t anticipated during probate proceedings,” said Vigo-Fas, who has assisted over 2,300 families with probate-related real estate matters. “The probate process involves multiple steps and requirements, and families typically navigate this process once in their lifetime, which can present challenges.”
The analysis identified several contributing factors to additional costs, including extended timelines, property valuation considerations, tax-related expenses, and family coordination challenges that can affect the duration of probate proceedings. Families managing estates from distant locations often face additional procedural considerations.
Drawing on his background in psychology and experience in probate real estate, Vigo-Fas has developed educational approaches that address both procedural and emotional aspects of inheritance management. The research indicates that families who receive comprehensive guidance often experience lower additional costs during probate.
“Understanding the probate process can help families prepare for what to expect,” Vigo-Fas explains. “Education and preparation can help families navigate inheritance proceedings more effectively.”
In response to the research findings, Josh V Realty has developed a probate resource guide that includes procedural information, timeline references, and case study examples. The guide provides educational content designed to help families understand various aspects of the probate process.
The resource also includes information about consultation opportunities with Vigo-Fas and professional resources that specialize in probate-related services.
“Access to clear information can help families understand the probate process,” notes Vigo-Fas. “Educational resources can provide valuable context for families entering inheritance proceedings.”
The research and educational materials reflect Josh V Realty’s focus on providing information and support to California families navigating probate processes. The company specializes in probate real estate transactions and related family support services.
