Received a Heritage notice?

Take time to review the information.

A Heritage notice may relate to information that requires the recipient's review. You may always use California's free direct route to search and file independently.

Trusts and estates

Some situations involve more questions.

Complex trust, estate, or documentation situations can involve questions best handled by the claimant and, where appropriate, their attorney. General public information cannot resolve those questions.
