When a family member dies, assets such as bank accounts, real estate, and retirements assets may end up in probate if there was no plan to transfer them after death.  The plan can be as simple as naming a beneficiary on the bank account and recording a beneficiary deed for the real estate.  If the assets can be transferred by a simpler procedure, we are happy to help with that process.  If a probate is required to transfer assets,                  we can help in this difficult time by:

• preparing the necessary paperwork
• filing the paperwork with the court
• notifying those people who are required to receive notice
• publishing required notices
• answering your questions throughout the process
