Probate

Probate refers to the process of resolving the assets and liabilities of a deceased person.    Probate tends to be a lengthy and emotional process.  Geiger Law pledges to try and minimize the time and expense of the probate process, as much as the legal system allows.   

The Probate Process may include, but is not limited to:

• Filing a Petition to appoint a Personal Representative
• Obtaining an EIN number for the Estate and determining/paying any tax liabilities
• Validating the Will
• An Inventory of Assets
• Resolving the deceased person’s debts
• Resolving disputes over assets
• Distributing assets to beneficiaries and closing the estate
