Why Clients Hire Us for Probate (Estate Administration)

If  You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork

Probate laws, and the forms used, are written in detailed, hard-to-understand language. Many things in probate are not intuitive, and also they must be achieved in a particular order. Failure to properly and timely accomplish tasks could cause you to be liable personally or at a minimum, cause delays.

To Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes

Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. When a lawyer is involved, these issues are often minimized or avoided altogether.

For Protection

As your attorney, we help protect the executor from personal liability for paying the debts and taxes of the deceased.

Allows You to Focus on Your Family and Job

If you have little free time, getting help from a law firm saves you time.

Reduce Your Stress

Why guess or hope you are not doing things incorrectly? We know the process, and we often carry the burden, so you do not have to worry throughout the process.

Your Reputation Can Be at Stake

If you were named the executor, you have a duty to act in the best interest of the estate and heirs. If you fail in your duty, don’t pay taxes when due, or fail to keep heirs informed, you can be liable personally. An attorney ensures you do things properly.

Savings and Speed

Minimizes court supervision of the executor and saves money by reducing or eliminating amounts the deceased owes creditors. Expedites sale of real and personal property and saves legal fees for the court to confirm the sale. It is not uncommon that the investment in a probate attorney more than pays for itself, and the estate ends up, actually having more money than it otherwise would have.

When Estate Assets are Complicated

Certain assets such as real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like obtaining appraisals, protecting, and insuring the asset. We have handled many of these situations in the past to help maximize what the heirs received.
