We are extremely familiar with the process of probate. “Probate” refers to a court overseeing the distribution of an estate. This generally includes gaining access to bank accounts or transferring (re-titling) real property. The Probate process can be difficult to manage on an individual level, which is why REAL Law Group provides the counsel necessary to advise and plan for you and your family.
We work with clients and personal representatives to ensure that all aspects of estate administration come to resolution as quickly as possible. We understand the work directly and promptly, offering the proper guidance to our clients throughout this complicated, yet necessary process.
