Probate Process:

Administration

When a loved one passes, the Probate Administration is the process of legally filing the Last Will and Testament in to the proper court to begin administering the estate. If a proper Will was not created during your loved one’s lifetime, then the Estate will be filed intestate and state law will warrant how to divide the Estate.

From open to close, you are in trusted hands with our office during this emotional time. Reach out to get started, and we will walk through this with you.

Personal Representation

Being the Personal Representative (PR) of an Estate means you are tasked with opening the Estate in the appropriate Probate Court, contacting various entities of interest, ensuring that the Will is carried out, and properly closing the Estate within the court’s deadline. This may seem like a daunting list, but when you retain our office, you are never alone.

With each step of your Personal Representation responsibilities, questions, and legal filings, we are right there with you. Call for a consultation today.

Will Contest

Will contests happen. It could be from beneficiaries arguing over the unfair distribution of assets or how the Personal Representative is carrying out the Probate Administration. We recognize that this is a very sensitive matter for all parties and proceed accordingly with the utmost concern.

From the Estate’s financial accounting to reviewing of previous Wills, our office takes Will Contests seriously. Let’s review your case now.

Deeds

A properly executed Deed transfers property from one or more owners to new owners. The transfer of real property is often one of main functions of the Probate process. You can deed your property while living, and the property can avoid going through the Probate process; however, this often has major tax consequences.
