Probate

Probate

The loss or incapacitation of a loved one is always a difficult time, and navigating the legal complexities of the probate court can add to that stress. Our firm is here to provide clear, compassionate guidance through these processes, ensuring that the legal requirements are met and that the best interests of your family members are protected.

Probate can be a complicated legal process involving the administration of a deceased person’s estate, whether or not they had a will. We work with personal representatives (executors) to guide them through every step of the probate process, including inventorying assets, paying debts, distributing inheritances, and filing required documents with the court. Our goal is to make this process as efficient and painless as possible, allowing you to focus on your family.

In cases where a loved one can no longer manage their own affairs due to illness or disability, establishing a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. We assist families in petitioning the court to appoint a guardian to make personal and healthcare decisions, or a conservator to manage finances and property. These roles carry significant legal responsibilities, and we ensure that our clients are fully prepared to fulfill their duties.

Our probate, guardianship, and conservatorship services include:

  • Probate administration

  • Will contests and probate litigation

  • Trust administration

  • Guardianship and conservatorship petitions

  • Estate planning advice and support

  • Fiduciary responsibilities and compliance

We understand the sensitive nature of these matters, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate, professional legal services that give you peace of mind during difficult times.
