Probate
We offer probate services. Probate is a court proceeding to distribute a decedent’s probate assets to the proper recipients and if necessary to determine the validity of the decedent’s last will and testament. We usually serve in the capacity of the attorney for the Personal Representative, and in that capacity prepare the papers necessary to open the probate, publish notice to creditors, provide notice to the heirs and devisees, prepare any necessary estate tax and income tax returns, and assist with an accounting for the estate. We also can act as the personal representative of the estate.
