Our Probate and Estate Administration Practice
If you are an executor, administrator, personal representative or heir, we will help you complete the steps required to successfully settle the estate of a loved one in Probate Court. We handle all matters involved in the probate process, preparing and filing all documents required by the court and acting as your advocate in all hearings or proceedings throughout the process.
We handle formal and informal probate proceedings, as well as supervised or unsupervised probate. We will:
- Make certain that the petition to open the estate is filed in a timely manner.
- Help you prepare and submit an inventory of the assets of the estate.
- Work with you to make certain the final debts and taxes of the estate are paid.
- Help you oversee the orderly distribution of property in accordance with the terms of the will.
- Ensure that you make any required financial disclosures.
- Prepare notice of death for you to submit to creditors of the deceased.
Throughout the years, we have streamlined the process by which we complete the administration of an estate through probate. The length of time will vary, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether there are any will contests, but the minimum amount of time is usually around four months.
