| Summary of Services |
California law calls for a probate bond in most Tulare County estates unless it is waived. The bond is calculated from the value of the personal property and the estimated income the estate will produce during administration. |
| Court History |
California uses the Superior Court for probate rather than a separate court. The Superior Court serving Tulare County hears estate and conservatorship cases. In Visalia, Tulare County Superior Court serves Tulare County for estate and probate administration. This court offers online docket search, so filings and case status for Tulare County can often be confirmed online before a bond is requested. |
| Additional Information |
Some Tulare County estates cannot close until missing or unknown heirs are located and notified. If that applies to your case, we can refer you to licensed investigators across the country who specialize in heir searches. When you are ready for the bond itself, we issue executor, administrator, guardianship, and conservator bonds for California, often the same day. Apply online to begin. |
