Probate refers to the court process of determining the distribution of wealth after someone dies. In many cases, a will does not need to go into probate, but when someone contests a will or if there was no will at all, the court needs to determine how the wealth is distributed.

We can represent you if you are a beneficiary or an executor involved in a probate dispute.
