Probate is the legal process by which a decedent’s debts are resolved and assets are distributed to heirs upon death. Though the process may seem simple, it often is not, due to poor estate planning. Our attorneys are knowledgeable in probate law and are seasoned litigators when necessary.

We regularly assist personal representatives, those entrusted with responsibility of handling a probate administration, to ensure compliance with tax issues, estate valuation, trust and estate administration and assets protection. We also represent claimants against an estate.

If taken lightly or done improperly, probate administration can be costly, time-consuming, and lengthy. Often, relatives may contest their share, challenge validity of the will, or challenge the types of debts included within the estate.

Our attorneys have the expertise to make this difficult time less stressful and to resolve the disputes efficiently.
