Probate is the legal process for distributing the assets of a deceased person to their heirs. It’s required of all estates, both those in which the deceased had a will and those without. It can be complex and feel overwhelming for many people who have been named as the executor of a loved one’s will or appointed as an estate administrator by the county probate judge. Our Camas, WA probate lawyer can help you navigate the probate process and advise you if there are any challenges or legal pitfalls that could impede the distribution of the estate. Call NW Legacy Law today for a consultation.
Probate Lawyer Camas, WA
Probate can be a complicated process, requiring certain actions to be completed by specific deadlines, and with the proper documents accurately submitted to the probate court. We work with people who have recently lost a close family member and have been named as the executor of that person’s will, and with people whose loved one died intestate (without a will) and who have been named by a probate judge as the estate administrator. Our professional advice can make this process much easier for you, allowing you to swiftly complete probate obligations and preserve the balance of the estate from undue taxation or spurious creditor claims.
As your Camas probate lawyer, we start with a personal consultation to determine your needs. Do you need help fulfilling your fiduciary duties as an estate administrator and want a trained legal professional to take over this job? We can do that. Or, do you just have a few questions or need assistance with an unusual filing situation? We can assist there, too. Our services are tailored to your needs, giving you as much or as little advice as you need.
We can also represent the estate in legal challenges, such as a disinherited potential heir challenging the will, or a family member questioning your actions as the estate administrator. Our firm helps you act in the best interest of the estate and shield you from legal blowback from completing your duties as the law requires. We provide advice based on our decades of combined legal experience and deep understanding of the Washington Estates Code.
