ESTATES & PROBATE & CONSERVATOR-SHIPS
Losing a loved one can be a difficult time. However, once a person passes, the Executor/Administrator has to administer the assets of the deceased person's estate which is called "probate". Probate is about collecting the assets of the estate, paying any valid debts of the estate, and distributing the remaining assets to the appropriate beneficiaries. Probate can be done if there is a Will or if the person died without a Will. Often times, the process can be confusing due to the Court's requirements. If there are disputes, such as Will contests and other disputes over the assets, the process can become even more difficult. We can help guide you through the process with ease so that you can have piece of mind. Give us a call.

Property Disputes, Boundary Line Disputes, Partition Actions, Title Issues, Deeds, Easements, Land-Sales Contracts, Leases, Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Dealing with legal issues surrounding your property can be challenging. Perhaps, you and another person are co-owners in a piece of property and you want to sell it but the other owner does not. The law provides a remedy for this situation through a partition action.
Also, if you have defects in your title, this can prevent you from being able to sell it. You may need to file a quiet title action to clear up your chain of title for your property.
Possibly, you have a boundary dispute with an adjoining landowner. Or you need a deed to transfer a piece of property to someone else. Maybe you have a landlord/tenant problem involving a piece of leased property. Let us help navigate the legal complexities surrounding your property.
