PROBATE

Luke can efficiently guide you and your family through the probate process.  When a person dies, the probate procedure provides for the orderly transfer of a decedent’s assets, either by will or by the law of intestacy.


The current probate law is complex.  A new probate law became effective January 2012.  


Probate generally involves: appointment of the executor or administrator of an estate; obtaining approval of the will; compiling an inventory of estate assets; preparing an estate accounting; estate tax preparation or supervision

(if necessary); obtaining allowance of accounts; and distribution of estate assets.


Having legal assistance to deal with probate issues is helpful in many ways.  The assistance of a competent, experienced attorney provides you a direct route through the probate process and gives you peace of mind during a difficult time.
