PROBATE LAW

Probate law can generally be divided into three parts, the preparation of wills and trusts during one’s lifetime and the administration of the estate and litigation of contested issues after the estate goes into probate. In order to be sure that your estate is distributed the way that you want it to be distributed, it is necessary to have a properly prepared will. The administration of the estate is the management of the estate assets, the making of the required distributions, the handling of claims for and against the estate and the various reporting to the Court that is required under the law. On occasions wills are contested by family members who believe that the deceased person was taken advantage of or left property to persons against his true wishes. There are also some often overlooked opportunities to dispense with administration in smaller estates and to informally settle even the most complicated of estates. All of these matters require the assistance of attorneys with experience in this area of the law. Our firm has extensive experience in all aspects of probate law from the drafting of wills and trusts to assisting in the administration of either the simplest or the most complicated of estates and to representing the estate in litigation. If you have a question either about drafting your will or if a family member has passed away and you need advice regarding the administration of the estate, give us a call. The first consultation is free.
