Do you need a probate lawyer? We can help.
A wide variety of attorneys claim vast experience in wills, trusts, estates, elder law and probate law. For a lot of people, many of whom may be hiring an estate planning or probate lawyer for the first time, it can be difficult to tell which of the attorneys is right for you.
Wills and Trusts Lawyers
If you have dependents, whether they are children or adults, as a concerned provider, you want to be sure they are taken care of, especially when you are no longer around to watch over them. A carefully drafted will can make sure your property is divided after you die the way you want it, and that your loved ones are taken care of.
Living Trusts often are used instead of wills and they have many advantages that you should discuss with a qualified wills & trusts lawyer. If providing for a dependent with special needs is a priority for you, a trusts lawyer can help you draft the documentation to help you provide for them during your lifetime and beyond.
Probate and Estate Attorneys
When someone dies with property and/or debts, a court proceeding known as probate is commenced to distribute the deceased’s property according to their will, if they had one, and according to law, if they did not have a will.
If you are the executor or a beneficiary of an estate and you have questions about the process, or feel that you need help with the court proceedings, please contact us so we can help you find a qualified attorney who is right for you.
