A probate attorney helps manage the legal process after someone passes away. This includes handling court filings, distributing assets, paying debts, and helping address applicable law and the terms of the will or trust.
The timeline can vary depending on the estate. Some cases wrap up in a few months, while others may take over a year. Factors like estate size, court schedules, and family disputes can all affect the timing.
