Whether you've been named executor of an estate, you're a beneficiary who feels something isn't right, or a family disagreement has turned into a dispute over a will or trust, probate court can feel overwhelming. The process involves deadlines, filings, and legal standards that are easy to get wrong without guidance.

Common Questions

Simple estates can close in a few months; contested or complex estates can take a year or more. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand the estate's specifics.

The estate passes through "intestate succession," where state law — not the family — determines who inherits. We help administrators and heirs navigate this process.

Common grounds include lack of mental capacity, undue influence, improper execution, or fraud. We evaluate whether your concerns meet the legal standard before filing.

Not always — assets held in trust, joint accounts, and accounts with named beneficiaries often bypass probate. We can help determine what does and doesn't need to go through the court process.
