Minnesota Attorney for Probate Matters
When someone they care about has passed away, many personal representatives feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities involved in the probate process. They are unsure of how to begin and do not know which steps to take to carry out the wishes of the deceased.
At the Law Office of Charles M. Schiff, I can help. I use more than 30 years of experience to guide people in central Minnesota through the probate process. I have a reputation for acting with integrity. Located in St. Cloud, Minnesota, I continue to build this reputation with each case I accept.
Probate Administration in Minnesota
The probate process is a legal procedure used to settle an estate after a person dies. The property that makes up the estate is gathered and inventoried. The debts are paid. Then, the remaining assets are divided among their beneficiaries.
In Minnesota, the probate process starts when a Petition is filed with the probate court. It ends when all the assets of the estate have been distributed. From beginning to end, working with a lawyer is the best way to help things run smoothly. It is especially beneficial if there is real estate or anything that can be difficult to distribute or divide.
At the Law Office of Charles M. Schiff, I guide my clients through the probate process. In addition, I also work with clients if there is a disagreement about the validity of the will; this includes will contests and other aspects of probate administration.
While having a will may not allow your loved ones to avoid probate, proper estate planning can help protect your interests after you pass away. In Minnesota, the need for probate depends on what property you own and how you own it.
