Nothing is more difficult than losing a loved one. It seems like the worst time to navigate the legal and financial complexities of probate and estate administration. We understand and know how emotional and stressful this can be. We help you honor your loved ones’ wishes and settle their estates properly and efficiently.
Reduces Your Stress
Why guess or do things incorrectly? We know the process and will work with you throughout the process.
Outdated, Contradictory, or Vague Wills
A will does not avoid probate, and many wills have issues. A lawyer helps you navigate the holes a will may have.
Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes
Wills sometimes exclude family members. Others may call wills into question. Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. When a lawyer is involved, these issues are often minimized or avoided altogether.
Allows You to Focus on Your Family & Job
If you have little free time, getting help from a law firm saves you time.
To Keep Everything Organized
Many moving parts can be involved. We properly organize inventories, accounting sheets, and other probate court forms. In short, this can speed up the probate process.
If You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork
Probate laws and forms feature detailed and hard-to-understand language. A lawyer helps protect you by ensuring compliance with the law.
When Estate Assets are Complicated
Certain assets like real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like appraisals. We’ve handled many of these situations to help maximize what the beneficiaries receive.
Your Reputation Can Be at Stake
If you were named the fiduciary, you have a duty to act in the estate's best interest. If you fail in your duty, you may personally be liable. An attorney ensures you do things properly.
Avoid Potential Tax Problems
After someone passes away, their estate must file a final tax return. If taxes are due, past taxes have accumulated, or past returns were not filed, professional help can be beneficial.
