We are ready to serve as your legal adviser to help you eliminate or minimize the possibility of a challenge to the will, a trust or the transfer of property.
Probate Administration
Probate is the legal process through which a last will and testament is validated; the decedent’s assets are collected and valued; debts, creditor claims and taxes are investigated and paid; and, the remaining assets are distributed to heirs and next of kin per the terms of the will or under the applicable law.
