Legal Representation Throughout the Probate Process

Many people have been conditioned to shudder at the word “probate,” but the process doesn’t have to be excessively grueling. Enlisting an experienced and knowledgeable probate attorney from Marsden Law P.C. grants you peace of mind during the probate process as you can be sure we are handling the matter professionally and efficiently.

How Can I Protect Assets from Probate?

Comprehensive estate planning is a convenient devise to forego incurring probate after you pass. Estate planning gives you the opportunity to take inventory of your assets. Once you understand what you have and identify how you want to redistribute it, our attorneys can help you arrange airtight plans that leave the assets in question exempt from probate. Some techniques include:

• Making your private accounts joint accounts
• Naming a beneficiary on accounts that are payable-on-death
• Ensuring you are not the sole owner on any property
• Obtaining transfer-on-death deeds and registrations for real estate and vehicles
• Drafting trusts for a seamless transfer of remaining assets

Our attorneys will work with you and your situation to draft an estate plan to protect your assets from probate.
