Let Our Experienced Probate Lawyer Simplify the Process

When you have the right probate lawyer assisting you, the probate process is really quite simple. The key is getting things in order before you die so problems don’t arise after you are gone. Attorney Long is a highly experienced probate lawyer who can walk you through the process with ease. 

Understanding Probate

Probate is a court process that determines who will manage your personal assets upon your death. Probate is “open” when there’s a need to appoint someone to sign for an individual who has just passed away. Signing can include signatures on house deeds or taking care of the deceased’s bills, etc. As soon as that person is legally appointed, probate is “closed”. There are other issues that might need to be resolved before probate is closed but, for the most part, our firm has experienced simple probate closure. 

The need to establish probate before you pass is very important. If it is not done beforehand, there is the very real possibility that your family will experience disputes. If you don’t think this can happen to your family, think again! Even the closest-knit families fall apart over issues surrounding open probate. Not having probate appointed can also draw out the estate-settling process. 

Many people feel they can handle probate on their own, with paperwork from the internet or other sources. Our firm highly discourages this, as there are many official legal forms to complete within a certain timeline. Attorney Long is a probate lawyer with a vast amount of experience, and he would be happy to assist you.
