If you have lost a loved one, someone in your family will have to manage the probate and estate administration process. Starting with taking inventory of all property and assets of the estate, you will have to file the will and other paperwork with the court. You will also have to notify and pay creditors, file tax forms, and distribute assets to people named in the will or their legal heirs.
In North Carolina, the person in charge of orchestrating these tasks is called an executor, an administrator, or a personal representative. You will have questions about the probate process and the proper management of an estate. As an experienced probate lawyer, I can guide you through the process. I will ensure that the details are handled properly and all legal timelines are followed by:
- Ensuring documents are properly filed with the court and with tax authorities
- Ensuring assets are properly distributed to heirs and beneficiaries
- Negotiating with creditors to minimize the debts of an estate and maximize the assets to heirs
You want to know that your family is in good hands. Located in Durham County, my office is open weekdays from nine to five, and evening and weekend hours by appointment. Credit cards are accepted. Contact me today for more information.
