Probate is the court-supervised process of settling a person’s estate after they pass away. This may include identifying and gathering assets, notifying creditors, paying valid debts and expenses, and distributing the remaining property to the appropriate beneficiaries. Whether your loved one left a will or passed away without one, the probate process can involve important legal requirements and deadlines that must be handled correctly.
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without having to navigate an unfamiliar legal process on your own. Rickerson Legal can guide personal representatives and families through each step of probate, answer questions about their responsibilities, and help resolve issues involving estate property, creditors, beneficiaries, or disagreements among family members. Our goal is to make the process as clear and manageable as possible while helping ensure your loved one’s estate is handled properly.
