Probate Services
Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person's estate is administered and distributed according to their Will or, if no Will exists, according to state law. As an experienced probate attorney, I help individuals and families manage all aspects of the probate process, ensuring that the process runs smoothly and efficiently.
My probate services include:
- Filing the necessary documents with the court.
- Representing executors or administrators of estates.
- Resolving disputes over wills or the distribution of assets.
- Guiding families through the probate process to avoid unnecessary delays or expenses.
- Addressing creditor claims and ensuring debts and taxes are properly settled.
Whether you are an executor of an estate or a beneficiary, I provide knowledgeable and reliable legal counsel to ensure that the decedent's wishes are honored and the estate is distributed correctly.
Guardianship Services
A guardianship is a legal process in which a person is appointed by the court to make decisions on behalf of another individual, typically a minor child or an incapacitated adult who is unable to make decisions on their own. Guardianships are often necessary to ensure that vulnerable individuals receive proper care and protection.
My guardianship services include:
- Establishing guardianships for minors or incapacitated adults.
- Advising families on the responsibilities of guardians.
- Representing guardians in court proceedings.
- Modifying or terminating guardianships when circumstances change.
- Helping families navigate the legal process with a focus on the best interests of the person under guardianship.
With extensive experience in both contested and uncontested guardianship matters, I am well-equipped to represent clients in even the most complex cases. My goal is to help families establish guardianships that provide security and peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones will be properly cared for.
