Probate Law & Trust Administration

Losing a loved one can be overwhelming and stressful enough without having to deal with the complex legal issues associated the probating of a departed's personal assets.

Probate is a court proceeding during which a will is confirmed as valid, debts are paid and estate assets are administered and distributed according to the provisions within the will. If there is no will or trust, the law requires an intestate probate which involves additional procedures and expense. RKM Law's qualified probate attorneys will navigate you through the complex process; explain your responsibilities; assist with beneficiary communications and advise you accordingly. Most importantly, our attorneys will prepare and file all documents with the Probate Court and appear before the judge on your behalf.
