Probate Proceedings

When it comes to the probate process, you can trust our knowledgeable legal team to be with you every step of the way. When a loved one passes away and leaves a will in place, probate proceedings are held in circuit court to “prove” the will and make sure it was executed properly.

Estate Services

Whether or not a will is in place at the time of the person’s death, your attorney may need to request an intervention by the circuit court in order to distribute property or pay any final debts. With our expertise at your disposal for estate services, you’ll achieve a welcome peace of mind during this process.

Guardianships and Commitments

Do you have a friend or family member who’s struggling, has become a danger to him/herself or others, or simply needs help making legal and day-to-day decisions? Let our law firm help you petition the court for legal guardianship or draft a commitment document.
