Probate is the process after someone’s death to verify the legality of their estate and ensure their wishes are carried out. Having a will can help make this process smoother because it is another document outlining what you wish to do with your assets after death.

Even if you have a will, your estate must go through a probate court for validation. After that, the judge will appoint someone to distribute your assets accordingly.

We found the Filippi Law Firm in Yelp and we were so lucky to have found them. Both Jen and Jim were kind and patient, explaining the process and addressing our concerns with a cost we felt was appropriate for the quality of the work.
