PROBATE

Probate

The probate process aims to ensure your estate is passed through to your heirs fairly, yet the process is complex and often challenging for family members. If you are responsible for probate for a loved one you’ve recently lost or you want to minimize probate complications for your loved ones, reach out to Wende M. Hawthorne, Attorney at Law, P.C., for support.

Our probate attorney can help you throughout the entire process. This often involves determining the authenticity of a decedent’s will, handling the collection and payments of accurate debts against the estate, and distributing the decedent’s assets to beneficiaries. This process may also include distributing non-probate assets to designated beneficiaries or identifying heirs for those who did not have a last will and testament.

Our team recognizes the complexity of this process and the need to ensure it goes well. For that reason, we work closely with each of our clients to ensure you fully understand your rights and responsibilities throughout probate.

State law is very specific about how probate occurs, timelines, and requirements for those responsible for the estate administration. Don’t make a mistake you can avoid. Contact Wende M. Hawthorne, Attorney at Law, P.C., today to learn more about our guidance and support.
