Probate and Estate Disputes
When a person dies, he or she leaves behind property and assets that need to be managed and distributed for the benefit of the decedent’s family and beneficiaries. If the decedent left a written document setting out his or her intentions, called a last will and testament, that document controls how his or her assets will be distributed. If the decedent does not leave behind a last will and testament, there are state laws that control the distribution of his or her assets. In either case, a lawyer is needed to assist in the probating of the will and administering the estate, including the filing or appropriate documents in the Probate Court and the preparation of tax returns. Gaslowitz Frankel LLC has extensive experience in probate and estate administration and in recognizing and solving the problems that often arise during the process.
