Business Succession Without Will

Summary

In California, if a business owner dies without a will, the distribution of their business interest typically follows the states intestacy laws. If the business was a partnership, the partnership agreement often dictates what happens upon a partners death. Without a will or partnership agreement, the deceaseds share may pass to heirs under California intestacy laws, usually to children or a spouse. If heirs are removing items from the store before probate, it could complicate the estate process. Legal advice is recommended to navigate these complexities and ensure proper distribution. Consider connecting with local legal aid services or pro bono programs for assistance.
