Passionate – Dedicated – Professional

our team ensures a smooth and legally sound process from start to finish

Probate is the legal process of determining how the property of a deceased person, known as the “decedent,” is transferred to their legal beneficiaries or heirs. At Family Law Group, we understand that dealing with the loss of a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of navigating probate. Our experienced attorneys are here to guide you through the probate process, ensuring a smooth and efficient transfer of assets.

What are the key steps to Probate?

Probate involves several key steps, including validating the will (if one exists), establishing the decedent’s legal heirs or beneficiaries, assessing the value of the decedent’s property and assets, and addressing any debts, taxes, and other financial obligations.

The final step is transferring the decedent’s property to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries. The complexity of the probate process can vary significantly depending on the value of the estate and whether it is contested.

Our team is equipped to handle both straightforward and complex probate cases, providing the necessary expertise to resolve disputes and ensure a fair distribution of assets.
