Whether your loved one died with a Will or without, Pratt, Mong & Lee can help you navigate the probate process.
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person's estate, whether they had a will or not. It involves validating the will (if one exists), paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries.
The probate process can be a lengthy and costly process for family members and heirs. The length of the probate process can vary and depends on factors like the complexity of the estate, the county where it is filed, the number of assets involved, and whether there are any disputes among the heirs or beneficiaries. More straightforward cases can take months, while more complex cases can take a year or more.
By consulting with an experienced probate attorney, you can be provided with the information needed for your specific circumstances whether you are planning for the future or making decisions after your loved one's passing.
