Probate

We assist clients with Kansas probate and Missouri probate, from the filing of the will with the Clerk of the Court to the final order of the Court closing the estate. This includes preparing and filing all probate pleadings, giving all required notices, handling the resolution of claim disputes, court appearances, inventories, final accounts and final distribution of assets.

The most common and most tragic problems encountered in Probate arise when family members do not get along and attempt to bring other family troubles or grudges into the already complex realm of Probate. In most cases, when siblings or legatees get along or decide to cooperate, Probate can be a relatively painless process. Estate administration schedule, Kansas.

Other problems might also surface. For instance, there may be a will contest or challenge. In some cases, court proceedings may be necessary to recover estate property being held by a relative or to recover possession to a family home from a relative residing there. In addition, there are many state statutes and local Court rules that may.  Further, in many unfortunate cases, the person charged with administration of the estate may be less than truthful with the estate's heirs. In these cases especially, a prospective heir should seek the representation of a Probate attorney.
