How We Approach Probate Matters:

At Emert & Yeom, we use a refined probate process to efficiently administer estates and trusts from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect:

• Initial Consultation
  The process starts with an in-depth consultation to understand your needs and goals. We’ll gather information, explain your options, and start forming a legal strategy.
• File Petition with the Probate Court
  We’ll prepare the petition to open probate and file it along with the will and other required documents with the county probate court to start the legal proceedings.
• Appoint Estate Representative
  The court will officially appoint an executor named in the will or an administrator if there is no will to act as the estate representative and handle probate matters.
• Notify Beneficiaries & Creditors
  Beneficiaries named in the will and all known creditors will be officially notified of the proceedings and given time to make any claims against assets.
• Inventory Assets
  We’ll work with you to catalog all of the deceased’s assets – real estate, accounts, personal property, investments, etc. Values will be determined.
   
• Manage Estate Affairs
  We’ll use estate funds to pay valid creditor claims, taxes owed, funeral costs, probate fees, and our legal fees. Ongoing affairs like properties will be handled.
• Calculate Distributions
  According to the will’s terms, we’ll calculate distribution amounts for each beneficiary and work with you to decide on asset transfers.
• Obtain Court Approval
  The court will review the accounting and inventory before issuing its final approval to distribute assets and close probate. This protects you from liability.
• Distribute Assets to Heirs
  Once approved, we’ll oversee the distribution of all assets to beneficiaries per the court order and the deceased’s wishes. Probate concludes.
