A probate lawyer advises estate representatives and beneficiaries as they settle the final financial affairs of a deceased person. The steps required for this representative depend on whether the decedent had a valid will. An estate probate lawyer such as Steve Hennis can assist with tasks like:
- Identifying estate assets
- Obtaining appraisals
- Assisting in the payment of the decedent’s outstanding bills and debts
- Resolving tax issues
- Transferring assets into beneficiaries’ names
- Making final disbursements of assets to beneficiaries
- Resolving disputes that may arise between heirs during the process
Develop A Personalized Estate Plan
Will:
State your wishes about how you want your assets to be distributed when you die. A will can also be used to designate a legal guardian to care for your child when you die. If you die without a valid will, state law will decide how your assets will be passed on to your family.
Trust:
A trust is a legal arrangement by which you transfer your assets to a third party called a trustee and give them the responsibility of distributing the assets according to your wishes when you die. A trust can be used to exercise more control over how and when your beneficiaries get their inheritances. Some types of trusts may allow your heirs to avoid probate and other court interferences.
An experienced estate lawyer can help you create a will or trust that achieves your specific and unique goals for passing on your assets.
