Sample Scenarios
Here are some common situations we can assist with and the steps we would take to resolve them.
Home in Probate
After the death of a parent, a woman discovers that the family home is still in the deceased’s name.
We would open the probate process for her and guide her through completing the necessary legal steps to transfer ownership of the home.
Dispute Over Sale of a Property
Two brothers inherit a rental property but cannot agree on whether to sell it.
We would assist in filing a petition for partition, seeking a court order to facilitate the sale of the property and distribution of proceeds.
Transferring Ownership Without Probate
An elderly homeowner passed away leaving behind a home in her name. Her daughter wants to keep the home in the family but doesn’t know where to start.
We would evaluate whether a ‘Small Estate Affidavit’ or other simplified probate method could be used and prepare the necessary legal documents to transfer ownership quickly and affordably.
