Probate & Estate Administration
Our firm practices in Probate and Estate Administration. Probate is the
legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are
distributed upon her or his death. Lawyers refer to the entity that owns
the deceased's assets until those assets are distributed as an "estate."
Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate
transfers of the deceased's assets. Individual state laws direct the
probate court how to distribute the deceased's estate. State laws and
procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with
expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are
distributed correctly.
Real Estate
Our firm represents both commercial clients and individuals in all
proceedings and transactions that deal with real property-land and the
structures attached to it-including purchase and sale, construction,
mortgages and foreclosures, leases, zoning, title examinations, quiet
title actions, closings, and management.
