The Typical Probate Process
- A person petitions the court for the authority to administer the estate and become the personal representative (executor or administrator).
- The probate court reviews the will (if one exists).
- The court can then grant the executor or administrator the right to represent the estate of the deceased.
- Assets are inventoried, debts and taxes are paid, and any expensed related to the administration of the estate are settled.
- The personal representative provides a detailed report to the court, outlining the the result of the financial and property dealings above.
- The court will review the plan for asset distribution to the proper beneficiaries, and approve distribution by the executor or administrator.
An Effective & Responsive Attorney Helping You Through a Difficult Time
If you have questions about property that will end up in probate court, or need a representative to help, please contact me. I will explain the process of probate and answer any questions you may have. I can be the personal representative for the estate of a relative or other loved one and take care of court proceedings.
I understand that dealing with property of the deceased can be a sensitive topic. Our conversations will be confidential, and I am highly responsive to your needs. I guarantee that I will return any client calls within two business days or credit the client with $100 toward legal fees, if all fees are paid the client receives a check.
