Probate

Probate processes and procedures require expert representation and compassionate support.

When a loved one passes away, navigating the legal issues that surround a death can be especially difficult while a family is grieving. The Personal Representative for an estate often needs advice on the duties and responsibilities of the position. From validating the Will and settling debts to the distribution of assets, our team will lead you through the probate administration process. The Probate Court is also the place to address the incompetency of an individual that needs the appointment of a guardian and conservator to assist the individual with health care and financial decisions for. Our team can also provide representation in litigation matters when issues arise such a Will contest, breach of fiduciary duty or surviving spouse elective share claims as well as guardianship and conservatorship petitions.
