Probate
Probate is a court proceeding that transfers ownership of a deceased person's property. Sometimes people can complete estate planning so that a probate is either unnecessary or abbreviated. However, if a probate is necessary, there are a variety of ways to complete the distribution of an estate. Our office has extensive experience with estate tax returns and other tax continuations. In addition, our long-term relationships with area families provide a history that is often useful in probate matters. If your family member has recently died, our firm can assist you with the following:
- Affidavits of Survivorship
- Formal Probate
- Informal Probate
- Summary Administration
- Trust Administration
- Estate Tax Returns
Let us help your family move through the probate process as efficiently as possible.
