Probate is a judicial process whereby an individual’s assets are distributed according to the individual’s last will and testament, or, if there was no will, according to state law.  The probate process involves (1) collecting and identifying the deceased person's property, (2) paying any debts and taxes, and (3) identifying the proper heirs and distributing the estate property to them. While the court oversees this process, in most cases the work is done by the executor or the administrator of the decedent's estate with the help of an attorney.

The Law Office of Stephanie Konarski has experience probating estates of all sizes.  We can help guide you through the administration process to assure that all legal requirements are met and the assets are properly distributed in accordance with your loved one’s wishes and the law.
