Very responsive and knowledgeable
I can't say enough good things about the staff. They were very responsive and especially knowledgeable.
I went in to have a trust written. After advice from Adam, we ended up with a will, trust, and living will (for end of life decisions). Additionally, the price was approximately half of what other law firms quoted me for just a will. Thank you Adam and Sarah!
Pat OBrien
He made me feel very comfortable
Adam was referred to me by a family member. I was apprehensive going in, not knowing what to expect handling my mom's estate, and he made me feel very comfortable asking questions and guiding me through the process. Sarah was great with following up and very prompt in responding back to me.

Yes, probate records are generally public. Once a will is submitted for probate, related documents and proceedings become publicly accessible, allowing interested parties to view details about the estate's administration. This transparency is part of the legal process to ensure fairness and accountability.
Do all estates go through probate?
Not all estates must go through probate. Smaller estates may qualify for simplified procedures, and some assets can bypass probate if they are jointly owned, held in trust, or have designated beneficiaries, such as life insurance or retirement accounts. It's best to consult with a probate attorney to determine if probate is necessary.
Who is responsible for probate?
The executor named in the will is usually responsible for managing the probate process. If there is no will, the court appoints an administrator. The executor or administrator handles the estate's affairs, communicates with the court, notifies beneficiaries and creditors, and ensures that the estate settles according to the will or state law.
How long does probate take?
The probate process can vary widely in duration. It typically takes from a few months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate, the jurisdiction, and whether there are any disputes among heirs or creditors. Procedures such as asset appraisal, debt settlement, and court approvals can impact the timeline.
