Description
Probate Lawyer is a Lawyer specialized in matters related to probate process. Probate is the legal process by which estate affairs and distribution of assets among beneficiaries of a will are carried out. In probating, the Will must first be verified and declared as the valid and true last will of the deceased (decedent). So many things can render a will as invalid, such as signing your will outside the dictates of the laws which bind signing of wills in Long Island. The Probate Lawyer has vast knowledge in the state laws affecting writing and signing of wills. Hence, in order for you not to make costly mistakes that would affect your family negatively when you’re gone, you need to contact a Probate Lawyer to help you plan your estate and avoid probate.
Or is it that the deceased named you as the executor of his/her will? If so, the responsibility of distributing the estate among the beneficiaries rests upon you. This is a complex process as the Will must first be probated in a Surrogate’s Court (where the deceased lived and/or owned one or more estates). You, as the executor, are the one to initiate this legal process and so all you need to do today is contact and hire a Probate Lawyer to offer you his esteemed legal guidance and assist you through probate.
