Palley Law Office represents you in probate court. If you've been named executor or personal representative of an estate, or a family member has died without a will, Palley Law Office will help you through the complex probate process, keeping things on track to speed distribution of assets.
The process of admitting a will to probate plus the estate administration itself are often referred to collectively as the probate process or the estate administration process.
The process begins with a petition to the court by the personal representative for letters authorizing the personal representative to act as the representative of the decedent's estate and to perform all acts required throughout the estate administration process.
Estate administration usually takes between six to twelve months but can take longer.
State probate law requires that there be a person to identify and gather the assets of a deceased person ("the decedent"), pay the decedent's debts, and distribute the decedent's assets to the decedent's beneficiaries.
When there is a will, in most cases the person named in the document will serve as the executor, known more broadly as the personal representative. If that person can’t serve for some reason or there is no will, the court appoints the personal representative.
Palley Law Office invites you to engage its services. If you have been named as an executor or personal representative of an estate, or a family member has died without a will, Palley Law Office can help you through the complex probate and estate settlement process.
