Why Hire a Probate Attorney

When a loved one passes away you may need help in following his or her wishes regarding the distribution of his or her property and money after death.  Unless all of the person’s assets were titled in trust, or passed through a beneficiary designation form, or by rights of survivorship, you will need to hire a probate attorney to represent you in the administration of the estate, a process known as probate.

The services a probate attorney provides include determining how assets will be distributed, payment of debts and taxes, filing necessary motions, and making arguments in court should the will be contested. Sometimes a probate lawyer will be needed to assist you in locating unknown assets.
