Estate Planning
We have significant experience taking estates through probate. In our typical individual probate case, we normally inventory the assets of an estate, obtain appraisals on property, settle the debts of the estate and advise our client with respect to payment of any taxes owed. Clients with more complex estates may require additional services.
Our clients include people who have been named estate administrators or executors. Our role is to assist in navigating the probate process and administering the estate in accordance with the deceased’s wishes. We are experienced in and familiar with the following areas relating to probate law: Decedent’s Estates
- Guardianships
- Conservatorships
- Trust Matters
- Probate
- Litigation
- Probate
- Mediation
The administration of an estate can be complex. Our law firm represents personal representatives and administrators in the administration and probate process to ensure that the estate is handled properly and to avoid personal liability to the administrator.
The period following the death of a loved one is always a difficult time. At Hoiles, Dasinger & Hollon we feel deep respect and sympathy for our clients who are coping with loss. If you are named as the executor of a will, or have been appointed by a probate court to serve as the personal representative of someone who died intestate, we can assist you in fulfilling your duties.
Aside from coping with the sheer volume of work involved in probate and estate administration, our attorneys are adept at diffusing conflicts among surviving family members and other loved ones.
While probate is typically an uncontested process, disputes are not unusual during this emotional process. When will contests involving allegations of undue influence and other matters lead to disputes and litigation, clients turn to our law firm for assistance.
