Utah Probate Attorney
Losing a family member can be both emotionally and legally difficult. Your loved one’s estate – all of their property and everything they own -may have to undergo a Utah court-supervised process known as probate. Probate can be lengthy, burdensome, confusing, and costly, but it will likely have to occur in order for you and your other family members to receive the inheritance your loved one left behind. Without the help of a probate firm, you’re likely to make expensive mistakes, and the case may take longer than necessary. That’s why Green Legal Group is here to help.
We can guide you every step of the way through the process and make the process smoother. Our probate lawyers can represent both personal representatives/executors who have been tasked with overseeing probate and beneficiaries who are contesting how probate is being handled. Call us today to schedule a free consultation and learn about your next steps.
Probate Is Complicated. Green Legal Group Can Make Sure Your Experience Is As Straightforward & Stress-Free As Possible.
No one wants to deal with the paperwork or other legalities of probate when they’re grieving; unfortunately, probate usually has to occur unless your loved one planned ahead (which they may not have had time for or realized they needed to do). Even if they had a will, probate will still need to occur unless your family member owned all of their assets jointly, or had a comprehensive estate plan that owned their property in a trust. In the state of Utah, if the value of the estate is less than $100,000, then an affidavit can be filed that can also bypass probate.
