Delaware County Estate Administration Lawyers

Whatever your probate or estate administration needs, from proving the will to distribution of estate assets, our attorneys can assist you. Most people hear the word “probate” and they begin to shudder. The fact is that probate is more bark than bite.

This often misunderstood process can usually be handled quickly and efficiently. Some estate planners will have you believe that creating a living trust will help you avoid probate; this is not true – you still need to transfer assets out of your personal name, as typically required after probate, and then following your death, probate is still required.

Despite the emotional pain you and your family may be feeling during this difficult time, the decisions surrounding your deceased family member’s will and estate are important. Let us help guide you through the process and ensure that your loved one's final wishes for their estate are carried out.
