Probate / Estate Administration – What We Do
Nothing is more difficult than losing a loved one. It seems like the worst time to try navigating the legal and financial complexities of probate and estate administration. We understand and know how emotional and stressful this can be. We help you honor your loved ones’ wishes and settle their estates properly and efficiently.
Why Clients Hire LaBre Law for Probate and Why You Should Consider Hiring an Attorney:
Reduces Your Stress
Why guess or do things incorrectly? We know the process and work with you throughout the process.
Outdated, Contradictory, or Vague Wills
A will does not avoid probate, and many wills have issues. A lawyer helps you navigate the holes a will may have.
Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes
Wills sometimes exclude family members. Others may call wills into question. Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. When a lawyer is involved, these issues are often minimized or avoided altogether.
Allows You to Focus on Your Family & Job
If you have little free time, getting help from a law firm saves you time.
To Keep Everything Organized
There can be a lot of moving parts involved. We properly organize inventories, accounting sheets, and other probate court forms. In short, this can speed up the probate process.
If You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork
Probate laws and even the forms are written in detailed and hard-to-understand language. A lawyer helps protect you to ensure the law is being followed.
When Estate Assets are Complicated
Certain assets like real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like appraisals. We’ve handled many of these situations to help maximize what the beneficiaries receive.
Your Reputation Can Be at Stake
If you were named the fiduciary, you have a duty to act in the best interest of the estate. If you fail in your duty, you may personally be liable. An attorney ensures you do things properly.
Avoid Potential Tax Problems
After someone passes away, their estate still needs to file a final tax return. If taxes are due or past taxes have accumulated, or past returns were not filed, professional help can be very helpful.
