Probate

The loss of a loved one is a difficult time. Probate is the process through which the estate of someone who has passed away is administered and their property is distributed according to the law and the person’s wishes as expressed in their estate plan, if they chose to create one. Limitless Law PLLC works hard to make the probate process easy to understand and manage.

While each estate presents its own unique challenges based on the nature of the deceased’s family, most involve the following steps:

  • Filing a Petition for Probate with the Court to open an Estate and appoint a Personal Representative or Administrator (executor)
  • Providing Notice to Heirs of the Estate
  • Inventorying and Evaluating the assets and debts of the Estate
  • Payment of the Estate debts and Taxes
  • Distribution of the Estate Assets

She, however, explained another option and guided me through a simplified process that she was able to complete very quickly and efficiently. I was so grateful for her knowledge and expertise as well as her warm and kindly manner. I will

definitely call on her any time legal issues arise in the future.”

“I could never imagine that I would need a lawyer to protect my interests. When my father died, I found myself floundering. There were so many issues to deal with; deeds, liens, and other family members to name a few. Emily took the time to go over my options, and explained things to me in a way I was able to understand. She successfully got things done, and in a in a timely manner, too. I felt taken care of, and relieved to have found such a wonderful lawyer.”

“Emily assisted me with some complex issues involving my late father’s probate. I hired her after another lawyer failed to resolve the matter to my satisfaction. Since then, Emily has been completely responsive to my needs and questions, helping me to better understand my legal position while also protecting my rights.
