Probate

The probate process is a court-supervised process that is designed to distribute the transfer of a person's property at death. You may have heard “probating a will” which the process a person shows the court that the deceased followed all legal formalities in drafting of their will. 

Many try to avoid probate so that probate fees do not have to be paid. You can avoid the probate process completely by joint ownership with the right of survivorship, gifts and revocable trusts. This process exists to protect all parties involved. 

The probate process may be contested or uncontested. Either way, we can walk with you during this time. Contact us today to schedule your consult.
