Legal Assistance for Probate Law Cases

In my probate practice, I work with my clients, most often the surviving spouse/partner or child of a deceased person, to probate a Will and administer the estate:

Commence and file the petition for probate and administration

Collect and safeguard assets

Appraise and value all assets

Deal with creditor’s claims

File all estate, fiduciary income, and individual income tax returns

Make adjustments in estate records to reflect changes in the asset’s tax cost basis

Distribute the estate

Prepare accountings

Close estate administration
