About SmartProbate

Hello! My name is Scott Pesetsky. I am the attorney who owns and operates the SmartProbate law firm. I like probate law best, so probate is all we do. In fact, I’m a contributor to CEB, California’s premier legal research, practical guidance and education authority.

I accepted my first probate case in 2012, and I’ve been helping California families collect their inheritances ever since. If you are seeking probate support, this may be a confusing and difficult time for you. It’s okay. We’ll get through this together.

We prepare your petitions, confirm each court’s local rules, and help get your petitions filed with the court. We even purchase a probate reference book, for your own education if you want to follow along. If that weren’t enough, we even pay the eFiling fees for courts that use them – saving you time and money.

We help keep you on track, from beginning to end, easing your probate adventure. So, if you’re ready to settle an estate, collect your inheritance, or just have a question about how we work, we’re ready to lend a helping hand.

Don’t just take our word for it!
