Probate is a legal process that settles a decedent's estate. A probate court will confirm the appointment of the estate's executor who then settles claims against the estate and distributes assets to the beneficiaries. Probate is also the forum for will contests, fiduciary challenges and other disputes with the estate. The attorneys and staff at Pawlan Law, LLC can guide loved ones through this process in a compassionate and efficient manner.
Most estates attempt to avoid the probate process due to the added costs and time incurred in settling its affairs. In some situations, probate can be advantageous as it can reduce an estate's exposure to creditors. We offer the guidance necessary to decide which option is more advantageous to you.
