Why Clients Hire Us for Probate (Estate Administration)

People come to us when one or more of these apply to their lives. How many can we help you with?

  • Reduce Your Stress
    Why guess, or hope you are not doing things incorrectly? We know the process, and we often carry the burden, so you do not have to worry throughout the process.
  • Your Reputation Can Be at Stake
    If you were named the executor, you must act in the estate’s and heirs’ best interest. If you fail in your duty, don’t pay taxes when due, or forget to keep heirs informed, you can be liable personally. An attorney ensures you do things properly.
  • ​Savings and Speed
    Minimizes court supervision of the executor and saves money by reducing or eliminating amounts the deceased owes creditors. Expedites the sale of real and personal property and saves legal fees for the court to confirm the sale. It is not uncommon that the investment in a Probate attorney more than pays for itself, and the estate ends up having more money than it otherwise would have.
  • When Estate Assets are Complicated
    Certain assets such as real estate, art, or a business can create complications or additional steps like obtaining appraisals and protecting and insuring the asset. We have handled many of these situations in the past to help maximize what the heirs received.
  • If You Don’t Know the Laws or Paperwork
    Probate laws, and the forms used, are written in a detailed and hard-to-understand language. Many things in Probate are not intuitive. Also, they must be achieved in a particular order. Failure to properly and timely accomplish tasks could cause you to be liable personally or, at a minimum, cause delays.
  • To Avoid or Minimize Family Disputes
    Family members may simply disagree on how to handle inherited property. These issues are often minimized or avoided altogether when a lawyer is involved.
  • ​For Protection
    As your Attorney, we help protect the executor from personal liability for paying the debts and taxes of the deceased.
  • ​Allows You to Focus on Your Family and Job
    If you have little free time, getting help from a law firm saves you time.

I met with Misty this afternoon about my mother’s estate probate. She has been nothing but helpful and encouraging. This is my first time walking through the probate process and I feel well informed and supported. Thanks!!

Great experience, professional and thorough. Both Whitney and Misty were fantastic, can’t say enough good things. They made sure we understood and they provided a wealth of education. Best part, they listened and they understood our wishes. We wish we could give more than 5 stars. Thank you.

Probate FAQ

I thought a will avoided probate. Why do you say this needs to go through probate?

Unfortunately, wills don’t avoid probate – wills guarantee probate. Fortunately, our team handles probate almost daily and provides you with a streamlined experience. We guide you every step of the way and make it as easy as possible for you.

My parents lived in Colorado Springs, but I'm out of state, is that a problem?

It isn’t a problem at all. Many of our clients are in the same situation. Nearly all counties require you to attend probate in person. Provided you can make one trip to Colorado Springs, we can get it all handled. Had it been in a trust, travel could have been avoided altogether. Once probated, everything we do can be done virtually or through the mail.

I started the estate myself, and now I'm stuck. Can you help?

We absolutely can! Many people attempt to do this alone and are quickly confused when trying to interpret the statutes. During our discovery call, we will understand what you have accomplished so that we can build a custom proposal with the steps going forward.
