Probate is the term used to identify the court proceeding necessary to administer the estate of a deceased person. A probate proceeding is used in both testate (when the decedent has a will) and intestate (when the decedent does not have a will) circumstances. In a probate proceeding, the deceased person's assets are gathered, applied to pay debts, taxes and expenses of administration, and distributed to designated beneficiaries, devisees or heirs. To some, probate seems like a complex and intimidating area of the law, particularly during your moment of vulnerability soon after losing a loved one. However, fear need not enter into the equation. Whether your loved one died with a will or without a will, attorney Michael D. Burville is available to offer you guidance and counsel as you navigate the complex probate waters. In addition, we can also assist you in determining whether options other than a probate proceeding are available. Call our firm today at (651) 460-3757 or contact us through e-mail.
