We can also assist with the creation of Powers of Attorney, which enables you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

The Probate process begins with the identification of the deceased person’s assets and liabilities. The executor of the estate must then determine the validity of the Will and file it with the appropriate court.
