What is Probate? San Diego Probate Attorney
What is Probate?
To some people, “probate” is just another one of those legal words they’ve heard but don’t understand. For those who’ve been through probate the word is associated with losing a loved one, money trouble, stress, courts, and all too often, rough times. Even so, many still are left asking the, what is probate?
As the California Courts official website states:
Losing a loved one is a sad and difficult time for family, relatives, and friends. In addition, those left behind must often figure out how to transfer or inherit property from the person who has died.
To do this, you must usually go to court. And dealing with the courts and the property of someone who has died is very complicated. Sometimes, however, family or relatives may be able to transfer property from someone who has died without going to court. But it is not always easy to tell whether you need to go to court or qualify to use a different procedure…we still encourage you to talk to a lawyer to get specific answers about your situation. You can usually pay the lawyer’s fees from the property in the case.
Here at GQ Law we understand the heartache and stress associated with the loss of a loved one and the subsequent probate process. While we put a lot of effort into encouraging individuals to avoid Probate by setting up a complete estate plan early on in life, we are no strangers to Probate.

Before Launching a new Business: Test the Waters
Its easy to get carried away when the light bulb goes on and a great business idea pans out in our minds. Experienced entrepreneurs warn: text the waters first. Here are some ideas of ways you can “test the waters” before diving in to a new business venture.
Before getting in too deep, survey the scene. Are their already companies selling the same or a very similar product or service? How will your product/service be different and attract customers?
Talk to people: Hunter Walk, former YouTube executive suggests you ask people standing next to in a public place like a grocery store or coffee shop if they have a need for your product/service. He warns, if you’re not willing to go out and talk to strangers, you may not be up for the challenge of starting a new business from scratch. This will also help you practice and refine your pitch. You may find that you need a different way of describing your product or service in order to help people recognize their need for it.
Start Small: You may want to try selling your product on a smaller scale such as at local markets or on an easy to set up online shop on sites like Esty.com or BigCartel.com. Those initial months of selling and tracking will help you pinpoint what customers really want.
Try Email: Email contacting is another inexpensive way to sample potential customers. Research to find contact information of potential customers and contact them asking for feedback. This method may also connect you with some potential investors. For example, if you want to start selling accounting software, you might look up some of the top accounting firms and contact executives for their feedback.

It Pays to Be a Small Business
Sometimes small business owners feel like they’re left in the shadow of bigger businesses but that’s not always a bad thing.
