The Probate law firm of The Law Offices of Bree Celeste Winterbotham aids families and personal representatives through the legal maze called probate.  Probate is the court supervised administration of an estate, whereby the decedents debts are satisfied and their assets distributed according to their will, or if no will existed or it is found invalid, according to intestate succession laws. 

A will does not keep the decedent’s assets out of the Probate Courts.  A will instructs a decedent’s representative how the decedent wishes to have their assets distributed; but the courts must supervise the distribution of the assets.  Alternatively assets held in a trust, and distribute assets when an event occurs, usually upon the passing of the creator of the trust, can avoid probate.

The probate process is time consuming and can be confusing without the help of a knowledgeable attorney to guide you through the process.  Finding an attorney to handle your loved ones probate can be overwhelming.  The attorney you choose will be there to advise you during one of the more difficult moments in your life.  Thus to help ease the stress of choosing the attorney best for you, we offer a free consultation for probate clients.
