Probate is not always necessary but may be needed if a family member passes away without an estate plan in place, they have only a will instead of a trust or there are assets held outside their trust without any designation. Jacklyn understands this process can be emotionally difficult, confusing and daunting; however, she will support and guide you through the important steps of probate to eliminate as much of the burden on you as possible.

The probate process includes petition for administration through the court, publishing notice and providing notice to heirs and beneficiaries, marshaling and inventorying assets, payment of debts and taxes and distribution to heirs and beneficiaries.
