We recognize that the time after a loved one’s passing can be difficult and confusing, calling for numerous decisions often in a short time frame. We strive to be a trusted partner to clients in this time, providing legal expertise and practical knowledge. Probate is the court-supervised process to transfer an estate from a decedent to his or her beneficiaries. While many Probate cases are simple, these cases can vary drastically in cost and complexity depending on factors such as: whether there was a Will; whether there are debts or claims to be collected; the size of the estate or types assets being distributed; and, whether there is any disagreement among heirs
We are experienced in the process of administering both simple and complex estates, and further, will serve as an Estate Administrator when no other person can be found.
Some common probate proceedings we handle are:
- Probate of Last Will & Testament
- Probate of Will as Muniment of Title
- Independent Administration
- Dependent Administration
- Intestate Procedures:
- Small Estate Affidavit
- Declaration of Heirship with or without Administration
