PROBATE REFEREE / CALIFORNIA STATE CONTROLLER APPOINTED PROBATE REFEREE FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT

Kevin P. Nett, Esq., was appointed as a California State Controller and Riverside County Superior Court Probate Referee in 2022. Although a Probate Referee’s appraisal is required for probate, small estate petitions, conservatorships, and guardianship matters filed with the courts, the Probate Referee can also assist the trustees in non-probate trust matters. Probate code section 16247 specifically allows Probate Referees to provide values in trust matters which are necessary for purposes of distribution, sale of assets, tax filings or general trust valuations. Using an independent Probate Referee for such matters helps relieve the Trustee of potential conflicts of interest or liability for errors.

Probate Referees have served the courts, attorneys and the public for over 60 years. The Probate Referee is an Officer of the Court appointed by the California State Controller. Before appointment the Probate Referee must pass a state administered test on probate and appraisal principles plus he is required to attend annual continuing education classes on the valuation process. Probate Referees values are widely accepted by judges and the IRS as fair, accurate and impartial values.
