• Probate and Estate Administration Our firm specializes in Probate and Estate Administration. Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her or his death. Lawyers refer to the entity that owns the deceased's assets until those assets are distributed as an "estate". Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased`s assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased`s estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in the area of wills and power of attorney to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed correctly.
