What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?
Our probate attorney can guide personal representatives through the major stages of estate administration, from opening the estate through distributing the remaining property. While probate requirements vary by state and by estate, our probate lawyer can help you understand your responsibilities, meet court requirements, and address legal issues that arise along the way.
Opening the Probate Process
Probate typically begins by asking the appropriate court to open the estate and appoint a personal representative, someone to administer it. If there is a will, the court may also need to recognize it as part of the proceeding. Our probate lawyer can help prepare the required filings, identify the people who may need notice, and address issues that could affect the administration of the estate.
Securing and Appraising Assets
The personal representative is generally responsible for identifying, protecting, and valuing estate property. This may include real estate, financial accounts, personal property, and other assets owned by the person who died. We can help determine what belongs to the estate and what documentation or valuation may be needed.
Paying Debts and Taxes
An estate may need to pay valid creditor claims, administration expenses, and applicable taxes before remaining property is distributed. Our probate lawyer can help the personal representative understand the estate’s obligations, review claims, and avoid distributing assets before required expenses and debts have been addressed.
Distributing Assets
Once the estate’s obligations have been handled, the remaining property can generally be distributed to the people legally entitled to receive it. Distribution may be based on a valid will or, when there is no controlling will, applicable inheritance law. We can help determine who should receive estate property and address the steps needed to complete distribution and close the estate.
