Deceased's Estates

Probate court oversees the affairs of people who die without any estate plan. It also manages the estates of people whose assets pass through a will rather than a trust.* We assist our clients in opening the probate estate and completing the requirements of estate administration which include:

• Identifying and collecting assets
• Notifying creditors
• Valuing property
• Communicating with heirs
• Coordinating and identifying tax issues
• Distributing assets according to law

We are experienced at handling contested matters should a dispute arises.

*Note: A fully funded trust is one way to avoid probate.
