Do I Require the Services of a Probate Attorney for Estate Administration?
Probate lawyers, also known as estate lawyers, provide legal aid in dividing the estate lawfully. If you are the Personal Representative of the estate, hiring a probate lawyer can be advantageous for you. The requirement for probate may not arise in all cases of estate division. It is compulsory only if the deceased individual solely owned assets in their name. Other assets can be distributed without undergoing the probate process.
However, there are several reasons why you might want to consider hiring a probate lawyer.
While the majority of wills are carried out smoothly, it is not uncommon for a few individuals within the family to pose a threat by contesting the will. Our team is here to provide support and guidance to the appointed Personal Representative in ensuring that the stipulations outlined in the will are adhered to and respected.
If there are any outstanding obligations left by the deceased party, it is within your responsibilities as the Personal Representative to settle these debts by utilizing the assets of the estate. It's vital to note that certain creditors hold higher priority compared to others. Rest assured, we will guarantee that you are fulfilling the estate's financial obligations in the appropriate sequence.
In the state of Massachusetts, estates with a value exceeding $25,000 or estates that include real property, such as a house, are required to undergo the probate process. Alternatively, if the value of your estate is lower, you and your loved ones have the option to opt for a voluntary administration process. Rest assured that in Massachusetts, whether your estate is of significant value or not, there are appropriate procedures to handle the distribution of assets and property.
