Probate and Estate Administrative Services

When you die your estate must “pass through probate.”  Probate is the process by which the State recognizes a person’s death and appoints an individual or entity with certain powers and responsibilities, aka, your personal representative. Your personal representative will need assistance with a variety of things upon your death, including filing your Last Will and Testament with the Register of Wills in your county, preparing and filing income tax returns, selling real estate or businesses, collecting assets and settling debts that your estate may have.  Each of these things can be complicated, and it is rare that the personal representative will take on these tasks without the assistance of a Probate lawyer.

It is extremely important for you to hire a Probate and Estate Administration law firm to assist you in this process. You are not expected to know how to manage every issue that arises, but you WILL BE HELD responsible if you make a mistake.  A personal representative should never have to take on any personal responsibility for administering an estate.  When you hire us, it becomes our responsibility to get it all right, not yours.  We can assure you that our experience and knowledge will make sure that the entire process will be handled correctly from beginning to end.
