  Probate Lawyer

  Probate is the process in which a court oversees the administration of a deceased person’s valid Will, or determines who receives their property if the decedent failed to leave a valid Will. An executor or personal representative of the estate is appointed by the court to distribute assets of the descendant’s estate and handle any debts of the estate. In most cases, the executor/personal representative carries these duties out without further supervision of the probate court, but must have the assistance of an attorney as a matter of law. If a personal representative does not successfully complete their duties in full, they are personally liable and at risk of being sued by the beneficiaries or heirs of the estate. Consequently, it is not only the law, but it is of the upmost importance to have competent legal representation if you are the executor or personal representative of an estate.
