Probate Administration

PROBATE

Probate is the legal process around the administration and distribution of the estate of a deceased person (or "decedent"). It is administered under the jurisdiction of probate courts.

When a loved one passes, it is a difficult and emotional time. Handling the affairs of your loved one can make things even more difficult and complicated.

When you are unsure of what to do or how to handle the deceased's affairs, call attorney Robert McConnell.

Mr. McConnell has compassion for those navigating these situations in their time of loss. He is a true counselor with great patience and understanding.
