Personalized Assistance Throughout Probate
The legal process of distributing assets to heirs and beneficiaries after someone dies can be complicated, especially if you are going through the grieving process as well. I have a small firm so I can give clients the personalized attention they need to accomplish probate their loved one's estate. When clients contact me, I offer legal counsel in most aspects of probate, including:
- Serving as executor or administrator in probate cases, when requested
- Providing legal advice and assistance to family members who are named as the executor of a loved one's will
- Administering trusts created for the benefit of children and disabled adults
- Representing heirs in probate cases
"Sometimes I will oversee the administration of an estate from the perspective of an heir who is not the executor," said Lawyer Baldwin. "In these cases, the heir wants to make sure the job is being done properly. In these cases, I oversee the administration and make sure the rules are being followed."
