Call Today To Get Started

Our exceptional and experienced attorneys will help you through all aspects of estate administration and probate, including but not limited to:

• Court Administration - we can help you determine whether an estate will have to involve the probate courts and can guide you through all the paperwork and procedures that come with it.
• Out-of-Court Administration - if an estate avoids the probate courts (due to good estate planning or few assets), we can help change the title of jointly held assets, get payments from beneficiary designations, and guide you through any other work that will need to be done.
• Trust Administration - if you are the beneficiary or a trustee of a trust, we will work with you so you can understand your rights and obligations under the terms of the document. It is also sometimes possible to change a trust that is not working as intended.
• Will Contests - a will contest is when the intent of the testator (writer of the will) is formally called into question and challenged by another party. We will help you make sense of the situation to ensure your loved one's wishes are fulfilled.
• Litigation - if the wishes of your deceased loved one are challenged by another party, we will fight for them in court on your behalf.

FAQ
Q. Is probate necessary?
A. Not for every estate. It will depend on what estate planning documents were done (such as a revocable trust or a transfer on death deed), how the property and assets were owned, and whether beneficiary designations were set up.

Q. What is estate litigation?
A. Estate litigation is when someone files a formal lawsuit or objection to an estate. This might be to try to throw out estate planning documents or to look into how an estate was handled by a personal representative or a trustee.
