Get a Lawyer Who Understands Probate
If this is your first time going through probate following the death of someone in your family, the entire process can feel complicated and confusing. While any attorney could help with your probate case, a probate lawyer has experience working with estate and probate law. Work with a probate lawyer and get someone who understands the entire process, from the court rules and procedures to the forms and probate process.
Faster Resolution
While you can navigate the intricacies of probate alone, you will end up spending more time as you figure out what paperwork needs to be completed and how the process works. When you get professional help from the beginning, the entire process can move quickly, getting you to a resolution much faster than by yourself.
Less Disputes
During the probate process, different disputes might arise about the assets or the last will and testament, resulting in litigation. Those court cases can be time-consuming, and delay the entire process. A probate lawyer will work to minimize the chances of those types of disputes by handling those cases efficiently.
Handles All Aspects of the Process
A probate lawyer will handle all of the different aspects of the probate process, including:
- Preparing and filing documents for the court
- Identifying and securing the different assets from the deceased individual
- Managing the estate checking account
- Helping pay off the remaining bills and debts
- Completing the disbursement of assets to the beneficiaries
