Santa Cruz County Probate Court Records

Santa Cruz probate records document how a person’s estate was managed after death, according to the person’s will or if no will exists, under California law. When a person dies, personal representatives, usually the executors named in the will, must seek the court’s authority to manage the deceased’s estate, including their property, finances, and debt. The process begins with the court validating the will
