FAQ
Do I need probate completed before starting?
No—getting help early can prevent missed deadlines and mistakes once the estate is opened.
How long does probate take?
Timing varies, but there are required milestones (inventory, creditor period, tax considerations) that shape the timeline.
What if there’s conflict among heirs or concerns about the will?
If disputes arise, we can advise on next steps and represent parties in contested probate and probate litigation.
Can you work with my accountant or other providers?
Yes—probate often involves coordinated tax and asset documentation, and we work alongside your other professionals.
What do you need to begin?
Basic family information, the will (if any), and a general picture of assets and debts is usually enough to start.
