Probate is the court-supervised process of settling the estate of someone who has died: validating the will, appointing an executor, paying debts, and distributing what remains to the heirs.
We prepare the petitions, notices, inventories, and accountings the court requires, so the estate moves forward without the paperwork becoming its own ordeal.
Opening the estate
The process begins by petitioning the court to appoint an executor or administrator and admit the will. We prepare the petition and the notices that must go to heirs and creditors.
Assets that skip probate
Some assets — joint accounts, payable-on-death designations, and assets held in trust — pass outside probate. We help you identify which assets the court process actually governs.
