| What is Probate? Probate is the legal process for determining the proper distribution of assets at death. The probate process can last 14-24 months. Under normal circumstances, it is complicated and demands careful attention to procedural requirements. What is Estate Planning? Estate planning is the area of law that involves using legal documents, tax strategies and effective communication to minimize the most adverse effects of dying without planning. As an experienced estate-planning lawyer, we can identify issues and implement appropriate planning tools to protect our client’s interests. These tools may include wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, living wills, and related documents. |
