If you need legal advice and representation with a probate or trust administratioin matter, we are prepared to assist you.

Probate is the legal process that ascertains the validity of wills or other documents so that your assets and debts are disposed of according to your wishes after you die. If you die without a will, your property will be disposed of according to state law, without concern for your wishes.  Documenting your wishes in a will is an important first step. However, you will also need someone you trust to carry out your instructions. The legal term for such an individual is an executor. As your representative, your executor will oversee the probate administration process, pay any debts of the estate, distribute the remaining assets to your heirs, see that all retirement plan and life insurance benefits are received, and file the appropriate tax documents, court filings, and fees.

The Law Offices of Robert F. Messinger can oversee the probate process and assist the executor in all aspects of administration. Our legal experience can ensure that the probate process proceeds in a timely, orderly, and cost-effective manner.
