The loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult situations you’ll ever face. Similarly, the loss of a business partner can serve as a devastating blow to the business. When this happens, often there is a need for probate. Probate is the legal process of transferring assets from a deceased individual to the proper beneficiaries, heirs, and other interested parties.
This includes:
- The need to continue the operations of a business,
- The need to transfer land and houses to a spouse, heirs, or beneficiaries,
- The need to withdraw and transfer money from a deceased loved-one’s bank account to a spouse or heirs,
- The need to access and retrieve documents and property from safe deposit boxes,
- The need to resolve disputes over heirship issues,
- The need to resolve disputes over the intentions expressed in a deceased person’s will,
- Among other issues involving someone who has died.
