Probate and Estate Administration

Our firm specializes in Probate and Estate Administration. Probate is the legal process by which a person`s debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death. Lawyers refer to the entity that owns the deceased`s assets until those assets are distributed as an "estate". Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased`s assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased`s estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased`s assets are distributed correctly.
