PROBATE
The ” probate process ” involves following and carrying out the wishes as stated in an individual’s Last Will and Testament. This could include the actual probate of a person’s Will. When there is no Will, this process involves following state law on how the decedent’s assets must be handled and petitioning the probate court for the authority to administer that person’s estate.
It can be difficult to know which form to choose, and if the correct one is not used the court will deny your petition. Losing a loved one is difficult and the probate process should not add stress to your situation. Our experience in probate proceedings helps insure that you do not miss any deadlines or other requirements necessary to start and complete the probate process. We understand that each situation is unique and we offer our clients advice based on their specific situation.
Guardianships and conservatorships can be an emotional and difficult process. A guardianship may be necessary when someone is unable to care for themselves anymore or make medical decisions for themselves. A conservatorship may be necessary when a person is unable to handle their financial responsibilities. Once you determine that a loved one may need a guardianship or conservatorship, it can be difficult to know where to start. At our firm, we take the time to walk you through the process and make you feel comfortable through the process. We educate our clients each step of the way. There are many legal requirements that must be met before a judge will grant a petition for guardian and conservatorship, that is why we recommend you hire our firm to assist you in these matters.
