Even if your loved one died with a will or with no planning, you many have only limited exposure to the probate process. We can help you get through this process so you can get on with your life.

Most people who want to avoid probate create a living trust, which owns their assets and allows their families to transfer those assets after death with no intervention from the probate court. However, many assets do not go through probate regardless of how they are owned. For example, life insurance, annuities, IRA accounts and other retirement plans are not subject to probate. Property such as bank accounts, real estate, timeshares, vehicles, etc. are subject to probate and may not be owned by heirs until they have properly transferred.

We can help you make sense of the probate process - understanding what is and isn't required could save your family time and money.
