Probate and Trust Administration

Navigating the Estate Process After a Loved One Passes

The first step is to gather information about their assets, debts, and any estate planning documents, like a Will or Trust, to determine if probate is necessary. An attorney can help you understand what’s required and guide you through probate or trust administration.
