Firm Overview

After working for a downtown firm for over 30 years, I decided, nine years ago, to go out on my own. It has been a good decision. I handle estate planning, probate, and real estate matters and am familiar with the Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb County courts. I try to respond to emails and phone calls within the hour and believe that a client needs to know what's going on with his or her matter at all times.

Probate

Probate is the process of transferring ownership of a decedent's assets to his heirs or to the beneficiaries under his Will.

A decedent's assets (such as a house, car, stocks and bonds, bank accounts, and personal items)do not necessarily automatically transfer to their proper recipients. Unless the decedent has made other arrangements regarding the future ownership of those items (such as via the use of a trust), probate is the process, via the appointment of a Personal Representative (formerly called the executor), by which the desired transfer is achieved. Most probate matters are pretty straightforward and generally do not require a trip to the Court by the beneficiaries. But there are details that need to be attended to so that the necessary issues are dealt with. I would be pleased to discuss this process with you.
