What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s estate is administrated. The process resolves claims made against the estate and locates and distributes the estate assets to heirs and beneficiaries. It can be a confusing, complicated, and time-consuming process. Our Gardnerville wills, trusts, and probate lawyer can help guide you through the probate administration process as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Whether you need help administering probate, contesting a will, or have some other probate issue, our firm can provide you with personalized guidance and counsel.
