Probate and Guardianship Law
When a family member or friend dies or
becomes unable to manage his or her affairs, it can be a stressful time
for all involved. We can help ease this burden by:
- explaining procedures in clear, understandable
language
- preparing Court documents to begin a Probate or
Guardianship
- coordinating with accountants, appraisers,
trustees, property managers, real estate agents, and other experts
- corresponding with Guardians, government agencies,
creditors, and other third parties
- tracking the status of Court files and
obtaining Court documents
- litigating, when necessary, including Will
contests and contested Guardianship proceedings

Fees and Costs
All work
is billed at an hourly rate, depending on the type of case and the
attorney responsible. An advance fee deposit (sometimes called a
retainer) may be required. The deposit amount varies from case to case.
One of our attorneys can provide you with more information. After your
initial meeting, our attorneys can also help you determine a budget for
your case.
For your convenience, we accept both Visa and MasterCard. We will discuss
additional details regarding fees with you on the telephone. We are generally unable to accept cases
on a contingency basis.
