Probate Claims
Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, which includes validating their will (if one exists), settling debts, and distributing the remaining assets to beneficiaries. Probate claims can arise for various reasons, such as disputes over the validity of a will, disagreements among beneficiaries, or claims by creditors. These matters can be challenging and require expert legal guidance to resolve.

Claims Against the Estate
Creditors or other claimants may assert claims against an estate during the probate process. We assist in managing and defending against such claims, ensuring that they are properly evaluated and addressed according to the law. We also represent creditors in pursuing legitimate claims against estates.
