Probate

Probate is the court-supervised process of gathering a deceased person’s assets and distributing them to creditors and inheritors.  With or without a Will, we will:

• Determine if the estate needs to be probated
• Open a probate action in the appropriate Court
• Complete the numerous legal requirements for notifications and recordations (i.e., publish the Notice to Creditors and provide notice to DSHS)
• File the appropriate paperwork to close probate

The probate process can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
