Probate is the court-supervised proceeding used to transfer the property of a deceased person to his or her heirs or beneficiaries. Unless the value of such property is less than $100,000, a probate is required, whether the property passes according to a will or by the laws of intestate succession.

At the Law Offices of Margaret M. Hand, PC, we carefully guide our clients through the often confusing probate process. Having closed nearly 50 probates, we can anticipate where the problems may lie and steer our clients past the obstacles that would otherwise cause expense and delay. We understand the importance of communicating with clients clearly and frequently, and we make it a practice to meet with our clients regularly, to keep the probate moving.
