Probate

Probate is the process by which an estate is administered by a judge. In the probate process, a judge will determine how the property of an estate is to be divided and how to pay certain taxes and debts of the deceased. In making these decisions, the court looks to the law as well as the will and testament of the deceased. In cases that do not involve a will, an estate may be probated through intestate succession or intestate laws.

Probate may be formal or informal, supervised or unsupervised. Our firm handles all probate matters regardless of the form. If you need an experienced probate lawyer for the probate of an estate with or without a will, we can help.
