Probate & Estate Administration

The Law Office of Christina Lesher, PC approaches Probate and Estate Administration practice the same way we do the rest of our work: with compassion first and foremost. Often people come to us having just lost a relative and being intimidated by the probate process. It is our job to set them at ease, break probate into smaller, more manageable pieces, and take care of the difficult parts ourselves.

"Probate" refers to the process by which a court appoints an individual to administer and distribute the assets of a deceased individual. We will examine the will and assets in the estate to determine the best probate process to use. Smaller estates may be able to use less costly administrations such as a small estate affidavit or muniment of title.

Often, before anyone's passing, we begin managing estates and begin estate planning so that the probate process will be quick and painless for the surviving family. To accomplish this, the following are frequently used: wills, trusts, special needs trusts, and powers of attorney.
