Probate Basics

The death of a loved one can bring many legal and financial challenges that must be handled with care. The probate process takes place after someone dies and generally entails:

  • Appointment of the executor
  • Proving the validity of the will
  • Identifying and appraising estate assets
  • Paying debts and taxes of the estate
  • Distributing assets in accordance with the will

Probate can become very complex, especially if there is a dispute over the will or another aspect of the decedent’s estate plan.

Fein Law Office works with clients closely to make sure they understand their rights and options in probate. This is a sensitive issue that must be handled with care. Mistakes in the probate process can result in significant unnecessary expense and even cause conflicts within the family. Sometimes, disagreement is impossible to avoid, but a skilled probate lawyer can protect your rights while pursuing an outcome that does not create unnecessary strife.

Fein Law Office understands the importance of achieving amicable outcomes, especially when disputing parties are close family relations. When an amicable outcome is not possible, the firm is always prepared for strong litigation.
