With compassion and experience, we navigate the court probate process, helping our clients distribute the estate of a loved one who died with a will or when no will was in place.

The word “probate” usually invokes fear and worry since it often involves court, a lengthy legal process, and potential liability to the personal representative (or executor) handling the job. But in reality, the process can often be streamlined and simplified by working with experienced professionals, and liabilities can be minimized with the right advice.

We work with executors and families during this difficult time to reduce the burden associated with distributing their loved one’s estate. We start by determining whether  the court must even be involved, or whether creative alternatives can be used.

Where needed, we handle court petitions, filings, and appearances. We work with families to minimize costs, take advantage of tax benefits, and help minimize liabilities, all culminating in distribution of the estate to the appropriate beneficiaries.

We help our clients during stressful times, while keeping them informed and educated at all times.
