Probate

When a person dies with or without a Last Will and Testament, unless the decedent’s property was
held jointly, it is likely that it will be subject to formal Probate Administration. Probate administration is
the Court process that transfers the title of property to the entitled beneficiaries according to law. An
Executor or Administrator is appointed by the Court to administer the decedent’s estate until the Final
Distribution to the beneficiaries.
Small Estates
If a decedent’s property is valued at less than $150,000, the property may be able to pass to the beneficiaries using a “Small Estate Procedure”. Depending on the gross value, a Small Estate may be administered using a abreviated probate procedure or may avoid Probate Court altogether.
Guardianships
A Guardianship is established for the benefit of a minor child(ren). A person may petition the Court for a Guardianship to be established for custody of the minor or control of the minor’s financial affairs, or both.
A Conservatorship is established for the benefit of an adult who is unable to property care for
himself/herself. A person may petition the Court to be appointed Conservator to care for
someone’s personal needs, financial needs, or both.
Probate andTrust Litigation Services
Probate and Trust litigation is sometimes necessary to contest a Last Will & Testament or to intervene
when a fiduciary is not properly administering the estate or trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
Sometimes an attorney is needed to contest a will or trust. We can represent your interests in these
proceedings.
