Estate planning is necessary to ensure your assets are distributed as you want and your wishes are carried out in the event of your passing or incapacitation. Estate planning is the management, preservation and the distribution of your assets, both during your life and upon your death.

A friend or family member’s death is a difficult time. In addition to the difficult mourning process, a person’s financial affairs need to be completed upon death, sometimes through a court process called probate. This can be a confusing and difficult process. A probate attorney is vital to help you through this time and simplify the process for you.
