PROBATE

The term “probate” refers to court protective proceedings. Those include guardianships, conservatorships, administration of estates belonging to deceased persons, Will and trust contests, and court supervision of the administration of a trust, or the removal, when necessary of trustees who have failed to complete their duties as the trustee or who have breached their fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries of a trust.

If someone you love has passed away and you are unsure of your rights under the law, please submit a case summary through our website to schedule an appointment. If you have been named as the Executor of a Will or as the Trustee of a Trust, please allow us to help you through the process of administering your loved one’s estate.
