Frequently Asked Questions

What if I try to manage probate myself with court forms?
While there are some types of probate you can manage on your own, by law, many require legal representation. Probate can quickly become complex and overwhelming. We provide expert guidance to avoid mistakes and costly delays. Our support ensures everything is handled efficiently, saving you stress and time.
Is hiring a lawyer for probate expensive?

Our services are cost-efficient and designed to preserve more of the estate’s value. We help you avoid common pitfalls that might otherwise lead to unnecessary fees and disputes. Investing in professional guidance can save significant amounts in the long run.

I don’t have enough assets to justify estate planning. Why should I consider it?

Estate planning protects what you have, regardless of size. It’s about ensuring your wishes are honored and your family is spared legal headaches. Even modest assets benefit from having a clear, legal plan in place.

Isn’t a will I downloaded online good enough?

Online templates often lack state-specific legal requirements and might not reflect your unique situation. We tailor plans to fit your specific needs, ensuring legality and peace of mind. A personalized plan can prevent unexpected legal challenges.

How do I know if my loved one needs a guardian?
You may need to seek guardianships for your loved one if they can no longer make safe or informed decisions about their personal, medical or financial affairs and there’re no valid estate plan documents in place.
