📜 How do I find a probated will in California? ▼

A probated will in California is filed at the county Superior Court, Probate Division in the county where the deceased lived. Once filed, it's a public record. Three steps to find a will: (1) Find the case via the county Superior Court's case search — California Courts directory at https://www.courts.ca.gov/find-my-court.htm. Examples: LA Superior https://www.lacourt.org, Orange County https://www.occourts.org, San Diego https://www.sdcourt.ca.gov, Sacramento https://www.saccourt.ca.gov, Alameda https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov, Santa Clara https://www.scscourt.org, Riverside, San Bernardino, Fresno, Kern, Ventura, Contra Costa. Search by decedent name. (2) Order the will copy at the Clerk's office — certified copy fee $40 first 5 pages + $0.50 each additional page (Cal. Gov. Code § 70626); non-certified $0.50 per page; search-record fee $50 for archived files. Online ordering varies by county. (3) Visit in person if the case is older than ~20 years and not yet digitized. Probate filing fees (statewide schedule per Cal. Gov. Code § 70650): Petition for Probate $435 (Riverside, San Bernardino, San Francisco have local surcharges adding ~$10–$25); Probate Referee fee ~0.1% of appraised non-cash assets (minimum $150); statutory attorney/executor fees under Cal. Prob. Code § 10810: 4% of first $100K, 3% of next $100K, 2% of next $800K (a $1M estate yields ~$23K each to attorney + executor). Small estate alternative: estates under $184,500 in personal property + $61,500 in real property can use simplified procedures (Cal. Prob. Code § 13100) — no court filing required for personal property; small Affidavit for real property. Important: a will alone does NOT transfer property — it must be probated to be enforceable. Sealed: family-conservatorship matters and certain juvenile probate guardianships are not publicly visible. Sources: California Courts directory, Cal. Prob. Code §§ 10810 and 13100, Cal. Gov. Code §§ 70626 and 70650.
