Probate
About Our
Probate Services
The 7-letter P word that everyone wants to avoid. When you lose a loved one, you don’t want to deal with a complicated process, fighting, and attorneys; you want to grieve. Being in charge of the probate process can be a tremendous and difficult responsibility. Unfortunately, even the most pleasant family relationships can become contentious when a death occurs. Proper estate planning can avoid this. However, should you find yourself involved in probate and have little to no experience with legal and court procedures, the attorneys at Short & Stevens Law can help make the process as simple and smooth as possible.
The value of the estate determines the type of probate. The probate process length and cost vary drastically because there are so many different factors involved. The probate attorneys at Short & Stevens Law give the executors or administrators various options to minimize costs and ensure the process is as efficient as possible, so call us today. Life is short, don’t waste your time in court.
