Probate Law

Firm attorneys have extensive experience probating estates of all sizes, as well as performing auxiliary functions such as petitions for the appointment or removal of executors, guardians, conservators, and trustees. Probate administration can be a complicated and frustrating process for the non-lawyer. Firm attorneys rely on years of experience in navigating clients through this process in a timely and cost-effective manner. Firm attorneys assist fiduciaries with all the legal aspects of probate, from the filing of the inventory to the submittal of the final accounting. Firm attorneys also work with tax professionals to ensure estate tax returns are filed timely, completely and accurately. When necessary, firm attorneys have considerable experience with probate litigation, including will contests, fiduciary appointment challenges, removal proceedings and bond actions.
