Following an individual’s death, the will begins the probate process. During this process the court will validate the will and prepare to distribute the decedent’s property. Once the process is complete and the will has been administered the estate is closed.
However, if someone later believes he or she is still entitled to property even after the estate has been closed, a claim may be filed in court to attempt and recover this amount. The limit for filing such a claim in California is 3 years.
