Probate Administration

Estate Administration

Probate proceedings take place in the district court and are designed to provide an efficient way of administering the decedent’s estate that the estate assets and obligations are inventoried and accounted for, to ensure that legitimate creditors are paid, to identify the estate beneficiaries, and to ensure that estate assets are properly distributed to heirs and legatees. We will be there every step of the way to assist and advise the personal representative (executor or executrix) in administering the probate estate. Our services also include ensuring that non-probate assets are properly disposed of, such as insurance beneficiary designations, dealing with jointly held property with survivorship rights, and investment portfolios.

Probate Litigation

There may be times that a will contest is in order. There may be legitimate questions regarding the validity of the will, the testamentary capacity of the testator, or whether the testator fell victim to undue influence. There may be questions regarding the testator’s intent regarding an omitted child, or spouse. You need the assistance of a competent attorney to help you navigate these issues and to ensure that your rights are protected.

During this difficult time, rest assured that we will be there with you every step of the way, that we will be sensitive to your needs during this difficult time, and that we will do whatever we can to address your questions and concerns as the probate case is resolved.
