Probate and Estate Administration Attorneys
Probate is the legal process where the court assigns someone to administer and distribute assets remaining after a person's death. Some estates, particularly those of high value or those having complex assets like family businesses or retirement accounts that need to be distributed, will probably be more difficult to handle. Others could be easily settled by an alternative method like an Affidavit of Heirship or a family settlement agreement.
