Guiding You Through the Estate Administration Process
Estate administration is the process of collecting assets and making sure they are distributed appropriately according to the terms set out in the estate plan. One of the misconceptions about the estate administration process is that probate is unnecessary if there is a will. Even if there is a will, probate will be necessary. But an experienced attorney can help you make sense of the process.

A Will Is a Ticket to Probate Court
If someone's estate plan was based on a will, probate will be part of the estate administration process. This will involve changing the titles to property, appointing someone to sign the deed and getting beneficiary's names on the deeds. If there is a trust in place of a will, a trustee would be appointed to take care of these issues.
If your estate administration requires probate, you can trust our attorneys to help you sort through the documents and make sure that assets are being distributed correctly. We have extensive experience with these matters and will keep all heirs aware of what is going on.
Chances are, if the estate plan involved a trust, the trust administration can be done without an attorney, saving a significant amount of time and money compared to the process of probating a will.
