What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of managing and settling a deceased person's estate. This process typically includes validating the will (if one exists), appointing a personal representative, identifying and appraising assets, settling debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. 

Although often necessary, probate can be intricate and time-consuming. That’s where our skilled probate attorneys come in, providing guidance every step of the way to help streamline the process and address any potential delays, disputes, or legal challenges.

Our probate services include:

• Estate administration
• Probate litigation and disputes
• Small estate procedures
• Filing of required court documents
• Guidance for personal representatives/executors
• Asset distribution and transfer
• Coordination with financial institutions and creditors
• Resolution of estate tax matters

We provide professional assistance to clients regardless of whether the decedent left a will or passed away intestate (without a will). Our team is well-equipped to manage estates of all kinds, from straightforward to highly complex.
