REPRESENTING EXECUTORS
When a person establishes a will, he or she names an executor—the person who will have the responsibility of carrying out the terms of the will. If you have been named executor of a will, we can help you through the probate process. This includes representation in probate court and helping you administer the will. Generally, you will be responsible for matters such as:
- Starting the probate of the will
- Notifying beneficiaries
- Determining property, assets, and debt of the decedent
- Paying the estate's debt
- Distributing property and assets to the beneficiaries
MUNIMENT OF TITLE
We assist clients with uncontested Muniment of Title. This procedure is available when the decedent had a valid will and the estate had no debt (or has the ability to satisfy unsecured debts), eliminating the need for formal administration. This proceeding may also be used in some situations even after the time allowed by law to probate a will has passed.
WILL AND TRUST CONTESTS
In addition to representing executors during probate, we also represent beneficiaries or family members seeking to contest a trust or will. As experienced trial lawyers, we will protect your interests throughout the entire probate litigation process.
