Probate and Estate Administration

Typically, people come to the firm because a family member or friend has died and they are named as executor in the will. Being named Executor still requires a court order to act for the estate in that capacity. If there is no will, the same basic process is followed. However, the court will name someone to be the administrator of the estate.

Our firm will help you to open the estate, name an executor or administrator, and provide the legal guidance to ensure that the estate is properly managed including paying off debts and taxes. We are also experienced in acting as the attorney for the estate and can assist an executor or administrator in the probate process.
