Nothing ever prepares you for the
death of someone you love. It's a bleak, heartbreaking time and it's then that you
really get to know what the people in your
life ' both personally and professionally '
are really all about. When it happened to me, Brooke was someone who gave me more than just good legal advice, she gave me
the benefit of her friendship and of her
humanity.

Probate & Estate Administration
Probate is the legal process by which a person's estate is settled after death. It involves proving that a will is valid, identifying and inventorying the person's assets, clearing the estate of debts and taxes, and distributing the property as the will (or state law, if there is no will) directs. Although probate can be complex and time-consuming, with careful estate planning, you can ensure that this necessary legal process is as efficient as possible.
