The firm simplifies and expedites the process of probate by taking care of practical considerations. Probate is the process of paying off taxes and debts against the estate. Our attorneys and staff help clients distribute copies of the death certificate, inventory the decedent’s personal property, and determine the overall value of the estate. The attorneys then file documents with the government based on the initial valuation of the property so that taxes are disbursed accordingly. They then post a notice to alert creditors to the death. Creditors then have a chance to make claims against the estate.
When property clears probate, the attorneys help clients transfer ownership of the remaining property to the remaining heirs. On behalf of the executor, the attorneys file the death certificate and last will and testament at the county court recorder’s office.
