Legal proceedings we can help you with include:


Estate administration, which is the process of collecting and distributing your loved one’s assets, possessions, and property. It can last from several months to several years, depending on the complexity of your loved one’s estate, how difficult it is to locate assets and beneficiaries, and whether there are any disputes or disagreements. 


A probate proceeding is a court process where a judge approves the terms of your loved one’s will, and their assets, possessions, and property are distributed to your beneficiaries. 


An administration proceeding will be necessary if your loved one died intestate, which means “without a will.” The court will choose a representative for your loved one’s estate called an “administrator,” who is usually a close relative.
