How The Walker Law Firm El Paso Probate Attorneys Can Help
It is always a stressful and emotional time when a loved one passes away. The El Paso probate and guardianship attorneys at the Walker Law Firm offer legal advice and assistance to clients in all stages of the probate process.
Probate attorneys handle different issues related to the probate process, including:
Probate Administration: Probate is the legal process by which a person’s estate is administered after they pass away. This process involves distributing property to any heirs, paying off any debts, and locating any other assets. After the death of a loved one, a probate attorney walks family members through this process ensuring that the legal paperwork is filed both correctly and timely and answering any questions the family may have about the process.
Probate Litigation: Unfortunately, disputes arising over a will or a trust are not uncommon. If this situation should arise, the attorneys at the Walker Law Firm can assist you with contesting wills, determining heirship when a person passes without a will, or helping a trustee initiate legal action against a negligent trustor.
Guardianship: A guardian is a person who is given legal authority by the courts to care for and make decisions for another person. Often times a minor child will need a guardian because the child’s parents are deceased; other times, a parent may be determined to be unfit. Adults who are incapacitated, either by way of injury or illness, may also need a guardian to make their financial and medical decisions, and provide day-to-day care.
Estate Planning: While it is not easy to prepare for your death, by having your affairs in order, from drafting a will, drawing up power of attorney documents, and setting up trusts, you can rest easy knowing that your wishes will be honored and your loved ones will know what to do once you’re gone.
