Guidance Through the Probate Process

If your loved one did not properly plan for the succession of their estate, you can end up in probate court. The probate process can be costly and involves many steps, including the payment of debt and the transfer of assets to beneficiaries. If you need a knowledgeable lawyer to assist you, RMC Morton Law, APC can provide you with experienced legal counsel.

During the probate process, the administrator or executor is responsible for:

  • Protecting the assets
  • Dealing with any debts
  • Identifying beneficiaries and distributing property
  • Inventorying and appraising the property
  • Defending any will contests

Our goal is to ensure that all instructions are very clearly documented to make sure your wishes will be carried out the way you expect. If you wish to avoid the probate process, we can help you put together the necessary documents to ensure your family receives their inheritance sooner, without having to go through the steps of probate. If you are handling probate for a loved one, we can guide you through the process. To learn how we can be of service to you, please call our Coronado estate planning attorney at (619) 435-1858.
