Probate and Estate Planning Law

Probate is the legal process of resolving all claims and distributing a deceased person's property, or estate, according to a valid will. A will has to be "probated" by a court, which means the court has to confirm the validity of a deceased person's will so that interested parties can rely on its authenticity.

Estate planning is the process of accumulating and distributing a person's estate in a way that maximizes what is transferred to the estate owner's intended beneficiaries while minimizing taxes and probate court involvement.
