Probate - Estate Administration

Estate planning is about creating a plan, while probate is the process of putting that plan into action. Probate involves settling a person’s affairs after they pass away, which can often feel complicated and overwhelming.

We’re here to guide you through every step: validating the will, appointing an executor, identifying and valuing assets, and ensuring those assets are distributed to the right people.

It is also important to understand the difference between probate/wills and trusts. A will takes effect after death and usually requires probate, while a trust can work during your life and after death, often avoiding probate and offering more flexibility and privacy.

The individuals you appoint to handle your estate carry significant responsibility. We work closely with them and you to make the process as efficient, straightforward, and stress-free as possible, while carrying out your wishes.
