Probate: Probate is the legal process by which assets and personal belongings are distributed upon death. Without an estate plan, your assets could be distributed through probate, which may or may not affect how you actually wanted those assets distributed. Many times, probate results in litigation between family members. If you are facing probate or trust litigation or are seeking to prevent litigation over a will or trust, our attorneys will help you explore all your options and alternatives to protect the future of your estate.

We understand the difficulty and complexities for any individual or family facing estate planning or trust / probate issues. Our attorneys will answer any questions you may have and explore all options so you can confidently protect your assets and interests.

When my mother passed away, Jeremy was there to walk us through the probate process and kept things as simple and straightforward as possible. While avoiding probate in the first place would have been ideal, Jeremy made the probate process smooth and painless. If you have lost a loved one, call the attorneys at Copeland and Brown.
