Probate Estates
Following your death, your family will need to open an estate in the probate court for the county in which you resided in order to legally wind up your affairs and transfer title to your heirs. Your family will need a trusted legal advisor to help them navigate the probate maze efficiently and cost-effectively.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the legal process that responsible individuals engage in to maximize the benefits and minimize the stress and negative financial consequences to their survivors. A will is a legal instrument through which persons can direct in advance how they wish for their assets to be divided after their death. A will may also carry numerous other wishes of the deceased such as guardianship of minor children, burial method, and other specific wishes. The simplicity or complexity of the will is highly dependent on the individual’s desires and value of assets. At the Allen Law Firm, LLC we design a custom-made plan that suits your particular needs. While a simple will may suffice for a young couple who are just starting out, a more complex will may be necessary for an established couple who wish to pass down as much of their hard-earned wealth to their descendants as possible.

Probate
Is the legal process through which a deceased individual’s assets are distributed to that person’s heirs either in accordance with a will, if one existed at the time of death, or in accordance with the law if the deceased individual died without a will. Many assets can be shielded from the probate process through good estate planning, as the administrative costs of the probate process are somewhat dependent on the value of the probate estate, and the higher the value, the higher the costs. The probate process can also be lengthy and can lead to strife within the family of the deceased. Again, this is something that can be avoided through proper estate planning. Even with the best planned estates, some form of probate administration is unavoidable, which is why choosing an experienced and sympathetic attorney can mean the difference between reducing the stress of the bereaved or adding to it.
