Probate Law
Practice Areas
Our Probate Law Services
Estate Administration: We assist executors and administrators in managing and settling estates, including gathering assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing property to heirs according to the will or state law. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Will Validation and Probate Proceedings: The probate process involves validating the deceased’s will, if one exists, and ensuring that it is legally binding. We guide families through court proceedings, addressing any challenges or disputes that may arise and ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
Intestate Succession: When a person passes away without a will, their estate is distributed according to state intestacy laws. We help families navigate the complexities of intestate succession, ensuring that the deceased’s assets are fairly and legally distributed to rightful heirs.
Trust Administration: If your loved one created a trust as part of their estate plan, we can assist trustees in fulfilling their duties, including managing trust assets, distributing property to beneficiaries, and complying with legal and tax obligations.
Probate Litigation: Disputes can sometimes arise during the probate process, whether over the validity of a will, the distribution of assets, or the actions of an executor. Our experienced probate attorneys are prepared to represent you in litigation, protecting your interests and seeking a resolution that honors your loved one’s intentions.
Guardianship and Conservatorship: If your loved one was responsible for a minor child or an incapacitated adult, we help establish legal guardianships or conservatorships to ensure that their needs are met and that they are cared for by a trusted individual.
Estate Planning Support: To help families avoid probate challenges in the future, we also offer estate planning services, including drafting wills, creating trusts, and establishing powers of attorney. This proactive approach ensures that your wishes are clearly outlined and legally enforceable.
