The firm specializes in estate planning, administration, and representation for real estate owners. The firm aims to protect private property rights in real estate and actively build wealth. This firm also aims to conserve assets by estate planning for heirs who might not be able or willing to do so themselves. When a person dies without a Last Will & Testament to clarify the property division, the estate can be “intestate.” Estate planning includes provisions for the settlement of the decedent's affairs. Intestate estates are treated and classified differently than estates controlled by a valid Will. The probate assets and estate settlement are covered by the laws of the states where the decedent lived. When a person dies intestate, the property must be probated. This is a court-supervised process to collect assets and distribute them to the creditors or heirs. The probate court appoints an administrator in cases of intestate death. The administrator can be a family member, friend, lawyer, or professional. The administrator must be licensed and provide the probate courts with a list of all the estate’s assets. The appointed administrator must get the probate courts' approval to make decisions about the disposition of the property, the payment of debts, and the distribution to the heirs. Creditors or heirs can act against the appointed representative in probate court.
