Probate
Probate is the process that transfers legal title of property from the
estate of the person who has died (the "decedent") to his or
her proper beneficiaries.
The term "probate" refers to a "proving" of the
existence of a valid Will, or determining who the legal heirs are if
there is no Will.
The probate process also provides for the collection of any taxes due
by reason of the deceased's death or on the transfer of his or her
property.
Additionally, it provides a mechanism for payment of outstanding debts
owed by the decedent.
If you or a loved one is in need of help in a probate matter, please contact
