Probate proceedings are the process in which an individual’s assets are distributed and debts are resolved after they pass away. This is a process that must take place regardless of the deceased had previously prepared a will or not. A probate attorney is a lawyer who is designated to oversee the process of distributing the deceased person’s assets and resolve their debts, either in accordance to the will of the person or the state’s requirements.
Many people fail to hire a probate attorney until their loved one passes away. Discussing the inevitability of your loved one’s death is never easy, however, waiting until your loved one passes away may mean that you hire a probate attorney in a hurry. You may not be sure that the particular lawyer you choose to represent your loved one’s estate has the best interests of your family in mind.
