Someone you love has just passed away. Perhaps you were named as their “executor” or “personal representative” in their will. Or maybe they didn’t have a will. You’re faced with a mountain of questions, paperwork, and uncertainty, and mostly all you want to do is grieve. We can help. We want to walk alongside you to help you navigate the legal and financial issues that arise following the death of your loved one.
You might be wondering: Who is responsible for paying his final expenses? How do we collect her life insurance money? What do we do with his retirement accounts? How do we divide her furniture, jewelry, or artwork? Do we need to retitle the house? How long will all of this take?
At Learned Lawyer, we regularly deal with families who have experienced loss. We know the steps that need to be taken and we can provide as much or as little guidance and support as you need. We can navigate the court process (called probate), help you with questions about a family trust, or figure out how to keep conflicts over money or things from destroying your family. Through it all, we will strive to take as much of the burden off your shoulders as we can, providing you the peace of mind to know that, in your time of turmoil, at least one set of problems is being dealt with.
