What is Probate?
Probate – a word that many don’t know the meaning of, or fear because of its reputation as a confusing and stressful process. In short, probate is the court-supervised process used to transfer your loved one’s assets to the appropriate heirs and beneficiaries.
Probate is designed to serve as a protection against fraud by freezing an estate’s assets until a judge can confirm that everything is in order with the Will, beneficiaries, and creditors.
At 20WestLegal, we understand that it is challenging enough to experience the loss of a loved one, so we take our time to guide you through each step of the postmortem process. Our goal is to remove the complexity and alleviate the hassle that probate can often bring. Most importantly, we want to ensure your comfort as much as possible during the process. Once you contact our office, we will schedule an appointment to discuss the individual circumstances of the estate and determine what next steps are necessary. In certain instances, it may be possible to escape probate altogether or move through a more “informal” process which is less cumbersome. No matter the case, 20WestLegal will provide you with the compassionate service you may need during this time. You can read more about these services here.
Give us a call today, so we may help guide you in the right direction.
