Probate & Estate Administration
Kearny Probate Attorney
New Jersey Estate Administration Lawyers
Estate planning is the formal, legal process of documenting your assets and providing direction regarding how, when, and to whom you would like those assets transferred after your death.
Probate and estate administration is the other side of the coin. It is the process of distributing a person's assets after he or she has died. In probate, a court oversees the execution of the will and transfers title and possession of assets to another. In estate administration, the court is not usually involved in the payment of debts and distribution of assets. For accomplished legal assistance, please contact Kearny probate attorney at McCurrie McCurrie & McCurrie today.
When a person dies intestate, without a will, the court must decide how to distribute assets, a process which can be extremely expensive.
At McCurrie McCurrie & McCurrie, we encourage all of our clients to avoid the costs of probate by developing an effective estate plan.
Whether your loved one had a will or died intestate, our probate and estate administration attorneys will guide you through the process to ensure that all debts and taxes are paid, disputes are resolved, and all assets are distributed appropriately. Throughout the process, we will work to preserve assets and minimize costs to the estate.
We are well equipped to handle large, complex estates, as well as contested estates. Have you been appointed an executor of an estate and don't know how to manage your fiduciary responsibilities? Do you believe your loved one's estate is being mishandled?
