Why Clients Hire Us For Probate And Why You Should Consider Hiring An Attorney
If You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork
Probate laws, as well as the forms used, are written in a detailed and hard to understand language. Many things in probate are not intuitive that must be achieved in a certain order. Failure to properly and timely accomplish tasks could cause you to be personally liable, or at minimum cause delays.
Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes
Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. When a lawyer is involved, these issues are often minimized or avoided altogether.
Protection
As your attorney we help protect the executor from personal liability for paying debts and taxes of the deceased.
Allows You to Focus on Your Family and Job
If you have little free time, then getting help from a law firm saves you time.
Reduce Your Stress
Why guess or hope you are not doing things incorrectly? We know the process and many times we carry the burden, so you do not have to worry throughout the process.
Your Reputation Can Be at Stake
If you were named the executor, you have a duty to act in the best interest of the estate and heirs. If you fail in your duty, don’t pay taxes when due, or fail to keep heirs informed you can be personally liable. An attorney ensures you do things properly.
Savings and Speed
Minimizes court supervision of the executor and saves money by reducing or eliminating amounts the deceased owes creditors. Expedites sale of real and personal property and saves legal fees for court to confirm the sale.
When Estate Assets are Complicated
Certain assets such as real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like obtaining appraisals, protecting, and insuring the asset. We’ve handled many of these situations to help maximize what the heirs receive.
