What is probate court?
Any time that property, money or other assets included in a will or trust need to be distributed, the court needs to verify the wishes of the deceased and appoint someone to distribute everything. Basically the court supervises the process of administering a deceased person’s estate. With a good team of legal experts, this process can be fairly stress free and have a fair outcome for all parties.
Contested wills and estate & trust disputes can complicate the probate process. If you are going to be involved in a lawsuit related to probate you definitely want to consult with one of our attorneys to keep you liability free and have your best interests represented.
